 CHLOE Rounce, who now resides in Florida, will be one of the few Bahamians participating in the US-Kids Golf World Junior Championships in Pinehurst, North Carolina from August 2-6.

 The 10-year-old former Windsor Academy student is now playing on the US Kids Golf Tour, the South Florida PGA Prep Tour and the Under Armor Junior Tour.

 She has travelled home to compete in the series of US-Kids Golf Tour at Baha Mar, organied by Georgette Rolle-Harris of the Fourteenth Golf Academy and sanctioned by the Bahamas Golf Federation's Junior Golf Association, headed by Gina Gonzelez-Rolle.

 Rounce has qualified and been invited to compete in the Under Armor Junior World Championships in Orlando and the Canadian Invitational at Niagara in July.

 "I hope to win. If I don't think I could win, then I should not go," said Rounce about her expectations. "I just have to work on my tournament strategy and my endurance because it's a very long tournament."

 Last year, Rounce won the South Florida Drive, Chip and Putt competition in Doral, Florida, which allowed her to qualify for the Copperhead Classic in Tampa and the Jekyll Island Cup in Jekyll Island, Georgia in March.

 She is the daughter of Peter and Ranieh Rounce and the grand-daughter of David and Christine Rounce.. She will be attending the prestigious Benjamin School in Palm Beach in August. Her aspiration is to one day play on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour.

 A few other Bahamians have qualified to play on the US-Kids World Junior Championships, but have opted to play on the Bahamas Junior National Golf team that will be competing overseas around the same time.
