Cardenas' (CAR-DEEN-YAS) best career finish was a 2001 fourth with Jim Nichols in Muskegon, Mich.
He earned $6,835 in 2001 with four top nine finishes in seven starts. Cardenas had fifths in the 1995
season opener with Albert Hannemann at Singer Island, Fla., and in 2001 with Nichols at Belmar, N. J.
Cardenas defected to the United States in 1990 after playing in a tournament in Puerto Rico. He
requested political asylum at the Miami International Airport while making a flight connection enroute
to Cuba. Cardenas has a physical education degree and a teaching credential. On his defection to the
United States, Cardenas commented that “you don’t know what freedom is until it is taken from you.”
