Zico Correia, ten, won the second flight division at the Sagicor Invitational Golf tournament at St Andrews Golf Course in Moka, last weekend.
Correia played his first round of golf on Saturday against a field of 24 male adults and finished four shots behind the leader Anthony Salandy, who shot 81.
Correia left the St Andrews Golf Club and strategised with his brother Zach, who caddied for him. "I was just four shots from the lead, I knew I needed to keep calm, focus, eat, play my game, not think of scores and do my best."
The following day clad in matching colours with his sibling caddy, Correia went to work.
Starting the first hole of the second round Sunday with a birdie, his competitors Anthony Salandy and Johansen Singh knew they were in for a challenge. Correia finished the front nine with an incredible two over par at 38 and the back nine with 44, sinking a 10ft putt on the 18th hole to win his flight by six shots with an awesome 82.
It was the first time in history that such a young lad from T&T managed to be esteemed with such a result.
"I knew I had them after the front nine, when Anthony scored 49 and Johansen 44. I enjoyed playing with them both, they are great players and it was fun. My brother kept me calm and reminded me to think about holding the trophy, which I did! He is the best caddy and I thank him a lot."
