Carlisle, Ontario — Arman Newton Shows Grit and Growth at Canadian Junior Tour
The fairways at Carlisle Golf Club were the stage this week for a young Bermudian who keeps finding little ways to get better. Arman Newton arrived for the CJGA Mizuno National Junior Championship and turned in a string of rounds that told a simple story: progress, some bumps, and plenty of fight.
Early wobble, mid-tournament steadiness
Newton opened the tournament with a tough first round, carding an 8-over par 80. That left him with work to do, and he answered. The second round showed clear improvement — a 3-over par 75 that included one birdie and thirteen pars, the sort of tidy round that gives a player confidence. He matched that performance in the third round, another 3-over par 75, and after three rounds he sat tied for 15th at 14-over par.
Final day: a roller-coaster
The closing round saw mixed fortunes. Newton finished with a 6-over par 78 that featured three birdies, nine pars, three bogeys and three double bogeys. Those doubles pushed his total to 20-over par for the week, leaving him in a tie for 18th place in the final standings. It was a finish that combined clear sparks of potential and the kind of errors that junior golfers learn a lot from.
Recent form: building momentum
This outing in Canada follows a bright near-miss back in the Caribbean. Newton was runner-up at the Caribbean Junior Golf Championships at Caymanas Golf Club in Jamaica, posting an 11-over total of 226. He shared the day’s best final round score of 75 at that event, but still ended seven strokes behind the champion. That performance, though short of the top spot, showed his ability to post a low day when it mattered.
What this means for Bermuda juniors
Newton publicly thanked the Bermuda Golf Association for their support during the Caribbean championships and the recent Canadian event. He also made clear he hopes Bermuda can field a full team at next year’s Caribbean Junior Golf Championships to give the island’s youngsters more chance to learn in a team environment. That kind of focus on team entry and development is a sign that Newton — and those helping him — are thinking long term.
Takeaways for golf fans
For supporters of junior golf and Bermuda’s next wave, Newton’s week in Canada offers a few plain lessons. First, improved scoring over consecutive rounds is always a positive indicator — the twin 75s in rounds two and three show he can string together solid golf. Second, big numbers like double bogeys can derail a week; the final round’s three double bogeys were costly. Finally, his performance in Jamaica and Canada together show a pattern: the talent for low rounds is there, and refining consistency will be the next step.
In short, this was a week that didn’t end with a trophy, but it left tracks that point toward growth. Golf fans can watch for Newton to keep sharpening his short game and the parts of his round that turn birdie chances into scores and double bogeys into bogeys — those small changes make a big difference in junior tournaments.
