The fairways of the Ocean View Golf Course were transformed into a sea of community spirit as eighteen teams gathered for the 2026 Brian Morris One Love Tournament.
Held as a vital fundraiser for the Friends of Hospice, the event serves as a poignant tribute to the late Bermudian professional Brian Morris, and the standard of play on the course was a fitting testament to his enduring legacy.
In a display of clinical shot-making and near-flawless teamwork, the quartet of Dwayne Pearman, Bradford Laing, Oliver Betschart, and Camiko Smith rose to the top of a highly competitive leaderboard. The champions carded a remarkable round of 19-under par for a total score of 51, navigating the tricky Ocean View layout with a level of precision that ultimately proved insurmountable for the rest of the field.
The race for the podium was a frantic affair that required a scorecard tie-break to separate the chasing pack. Two groups finished just a single stroke behind the winners at 18-under par with scores of 52.
The veteran unit of Jeff Richardson, Garry Burgess, Mackih McGowan, and Azeem Khan found themselves locked in a stalemate for the runner-up spot alongside a formidable outfit competing under the name I Three and A King.
While the action on the leaderboard provided plenty of drama for the spectators, the primary objective of the day remained the support of the Friends of Hospice. The tournament continues to be a cornerstone of the local sporting calendar, blending high-level competitive golf with a meaningful cause that resonates deeply across the island’s sporting community.
As the sun set over the North Shore, the day was hailed as a resounding success, ensuring that the "One Love" philosophy championed by Morris continues to thrive through both sport and charity.
