Hilton Head Island Resident Plays in the Travelers Championship
Martin Catalioto, part-time Hilton Head Island resident, made his PGA Tour debut at the Travelers Championship tournament over the weekend. Catalioto earned his spot in the tournament, which is held at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn., by finishing six under par at Monday’s qualifier at Bull’s Bridge Golf Club in South Kent, Conn.
Catalioto is from New Jersey, but is a part time Hilton Head resident where he works as a caddie at Bluffton’s May River Golf Club and plays on the Charlotte-based Tarheel Tour. He decided to go out for the tournament because Cromwell is close to his New Jersey home and the tournament was being held during a two-week break in the Tarheel Tour.
Catalioto shot a 70 and a 76 in the first and second rounds of the tournament. See the full scoreboard listing from the tournament.
