Cayman: The LAAC champion ends his journey at the Masters
Aaron Jarvis closed this Friday his participation in the first Major of the year. The Cayman Islands player had a good performance in the second round of the championship in which he signed a scorecard of 74 shots (+2) and completed the two rounds with 155 strokes (+11) at Augusta National Golf, score that wasn´t able to make the cut.
It was an unforgettable experience for Jarvis, who leaves with positive things for the future. “I played pretty solid today, I had a few mistakes going into the back nine, but I felt good all day and I played really good on the par 3s, I actually almost made a hole-in-1 on the 16th which would have been amazing. I tried to be more patient and have more confidence to make a good score and I did. I just enjoyed being able to play on this golf course,” said the 23-year-old who studies and plays for the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
“These two days have been incredible for me. I was surprised by all of this place, the atmosphere, the people, everything seemed incredible to me. Even more knowing what it means for its history, and having had the opportunity to play here seems incredible to me”, said Jarvis, who will also play The Open next July (14th-17th) at St Andrews. The player from the Cayman Islands will have the privilege of playing in two of the most iconic golf courses on the planet.
Benefits that Jarvis obtained after winning the title of the Latin America Amateur Championship at Casa de Campo. “Having won the LAAC was a dream come true because I worked so hard for that tournament,” said Jarvis, who also earned the invitation to play in one of the final stages of qualifying for the U.S. Open.
