JAMAICA’S rising golfing star Wesley Brown has officially made it on the international golf rankings. He has been listed at number 1,548 in the latest release, which is topped by world number one Rory McIlroy.
An elated Brown, who has been on a roll recently winning his last two tournaments in Jamaica, said making the international rankings was a dream come true.
“I am elated and so happy. I have worked very hard and made a lot of sacrifices and now all this is paying off, ” Brown said.
He was full of praise for his sponsor Sandals Resorts International for its support which has allowed him to participate in the international tour.
Brown, who is currently on a break until January, said his plan is to steadily move up the rankings and is confident that next year will be an even more successful one.
The Jamaican ace recently won the Alliance Buccaneer Memorial Event at Caymanas Golf Club as well as a charity event in Montego Bay.
With his golfing season now closed for the year, Brown said he will be back in action in Jamaica in January, but will open his overseas tour in February. “I am expecting even better things on the Carolina Series this year,” Brown noted.
He will next year be playing on the high-level USA Pro Series circuit following sterling play abroad. He had previously competed on the National Golfing Association (NGA) Carolina Series, which is a notch below the Pro Series, but due to his outstanding performances, had earned a shot at the higher rated Pro Series.
The NGA Tour consists of several tours: Pro Series, Carolina Series and Winter Series.
Brown is a caddy at Sandals Golf and Country Club in St Ann.
