Arman Newton wraps up solid junior showing in Canada and Jamaica

Golf fans, take note: Bermudian youngster Arman Newton finished strong and showed steady improvement over the week at the CJGA Mizuno National Junior Championship in Canada, coming home in a tie for 18th place. The final numbers don’t tell the whole story — they tell a story of grit, recovery and a junior player learning how to grind through a long event.

Final round fireworks (and a few bruises)

Newton closed his Canadian campaign with a gritty final round 6-over-par 78. That round alone was a roller-coaster: three birdies, nine pars, three bogeys and three double bogeys. When the dust settled, his tournament total read 20-over par, landing him tied for 18th in a competitive junior field.

Climbing through each day

What stands out is Newton’s upward arc through the event. He started with an opening round of 8-over-par 80, then sharpened up to a 3-over-par 75 in round two, and followed that with another tidy 3-over-par 75 in round three. The second-round 75 included one birdie and thirteen pars — signs of cleaner ball-striking and better course management as the week progressed. Prior to the final day, he sat tied for 15th at 14-over, showing that persistence paid off even when the final score wasn’t exactly what he hoped for.

Caribbean tune-up: runner-up finish in Jamaica

Just before the Canadian trip, Newton stood on the podium in Jamaica with a runner-up finish at the Caribbean Junior Golf Championships. The event, played at the par-72 Caymanas Golf Club in Kingston, saw Newton post an 11-over total of 226 across three rounds. He was part of a small but hungry under-15 boys division of 15 players, and he recorded the joint-best final round score of 75 in that competition. Despite that strong close, he finished seven shots back of the winner.

Opportunity and growth

The Caribbean event allowed individual entries thanks to Bermuda’s associate status in Caricom, which gave islands like Bermuda a route to compete even without a full team. There’s optimism that a team entry could be submitted next year, a development that would give players more exposure and team experience in regional competition.

Across both tournaments, Newton showed a mix of flashes of brilliance and moments that still need polishing — namely consistency on the greens and avoiding the costly double bogeys that can swing momentum. The double bogeys in his final Canadian round were painful, but they came alongside three birdies and nine pars, which highlights the potential. For a junior player, trading up those big numbers for steady bogeys and pars is the next big step.

Support system and next steps

Newton acknowledged the backing he received from the Bermuda Golf Association, which helped get him to these international stages. That kind of support matters when young talents are trying to turn promise into performance. With steady improvement across rounds at the CJGA event and a recent podium in Jamaica, the trajectory looks promising — and many will be watching how he builds from these experiences in the months ahead.

Takeaway for golf fans

Newton’s week-ups and week-downs are familiar territory for junior players pushing into bigger fields and tougher courses. The key takeaways: his scoring tightened after the first day, he can shoot low (or at least lower), and his competitive instincts were on display in both Canada and Jamaica. If he irons out the occasional costly hole and keeps the momentum of those mid-round pars and birdies, higher finishes should start to appear more often.
