Bradford’s 9 successes came from 7 field goals and 2 penalty shots while Vargas mustered his 11 from 5 field goals and 6 penalty shots.
Meanwhile, Guyana missed out on bronze at the championships after they went down to Uruguay 3-2 in another tense penalty outing, their second in two games.
Guyana took the early lead through a penalty corner from Marvin Dannett (5th minute) and held that lead well until they failed to properly defend a penalty corner in the 22nd minute which Juan Manuel Canessa scored.
On the hop; Uruguay scored just one minute later for the lead, this time a field goal compliments of Joaquin Rodriguez (23rd).
Robert France, however, in the 40th minute levelled it again after scoring a field goal and both teams tried furiously to find the separator. However it took penalties to decide the winners.
Opening the shooting for the Guyanese (GUY), Bradford scored while Canessa (URU) had his shot defended as did France and Gonzalo Martinoni (URU).
Dannett would score his shot while Diego Laborde(URU) also converted successfully.
Jamraj Assanah missed his, Alexsis Lopez (URU) scored, Andrew Stuart (GUY) missed and Ignacio Costas (URU) carried his team over the line.
Meanwhile, Brazil beat Venezuela in a low-scoring 1-0 affair to take gold.
