Champions Invitational
Bishops Gate Golf Academy student Julian
Perico finished second at 11-under par 205 at
Sir Nick Faldo’s Major Champions Invitational on
Wednesday, Marcy 14, 2018 at Bella Collina Golf
Club in Montverde, Fla. Perico was representing
Team John Daly.
Perico, a BGGA senior from Peru, got off to a
hot lead posting an 8-under 64 during tough
conditions in the first round. Perico recorded two
birdies and an eagle on both the front and back
nine to take the top spot on the leaderboard.
During the second round, Perico shot 1-under 71
for a share of second place. He had two birdies
and two bogeys on the front nine and two birdies
and one bogey on the back nine.
In the final round, Perico was chasing the lead
most of the day. A birdie on No. 17 put Perico in
a tie for the lead with one hole to play. He didn’t
manage to get up and down on No. 18 and finished
with a bogey to round out his final-round, 2-under
70 for second place.
BGGA’s John Daly II was also playing for Team
John Daly.
Also, Team Justin Rose was made up of four BGGA
