== Professional career == In 1971, Cambridge turned professional. He has spent many years in the United States, where he worked as an assistant professional at Sunningdale Country Club in Scarsdale, New York and played in local and regional events in the New York region.

He is more notable for his achievements in senior (over 50) golf. In 2000, he became the first Jamaican to qualify to play on the European Seniors Tour and he made the top-25 on that tour's Order of Merit every year from 2001 to 2006, with a best ranking of third in 2002. He has won five European Senior Tour tournaments.

In November 2010, he nearly won a senior event in Australia. He held the lead entering the final round of the Fiducian Legends Australian PGA Championship. He led by three shots entering the 16th hole of the final round. However he finished triple bogey-par-bogey to finish runner-up to Australian golfer Lyndsay Stephen.<ref name=":11">{{Cite web |last=O'Hare |first=Brian |title=Lyndsay Stephen snatches dramatic 2010 Legends PGA victory |url=https://australianseniorgolfer.com.au/757/lyndsay-stephen-snatches-dramatic-2010-legends-pga-victory/ |access-date=2021-01-08 |publisher=Australian Senior Golfer}}</ref>
