Rashawn Hanna produced the second hole-in-one shot on the same hole for Team Bahamas to highlight day two of competition at the 37th Caribbean Amateur Junior Golf Championships.

Hanna’s shot came on the eighth hole at the Grande Reserve Golf Course in Puerto Rico. It follows the first hole-in-one by Maximilian Landry on day one on Tuesday on the eighth hole as well. 

Both Hanna and Landry are representing The Bahamas in the boys’ 15-and-under division where they are combining their efforts for fifth place after their back-to-back hole-in-one shots.

Bahamas head coach Richard Gibson Sr said it was a beautiful day with all of the golfers performing very well.

The Bahamas remains in third place with 79 points for the Hank James Team Trophy.

Puerto Rico has extended their lead in the front of the pack with 109 points, while the Dominican Republic is sitting in second place with 86 with one more day of competition to be completed today.

“Each team member was much better than they played on day one,” Gibson said. “We are still in good spirits and we believe that we can move up into second place before the tournament is over.

“Also, we feel we should be able to win one or two categories, so we are happy about that. With Rashad coming through with the second hole-in-one on the same hole as Max did it on day one, the team is feeding off their performances.”
