Hamilton — Arman Newton Keeps Turning Heads on Two Fronts
Golf fans should be paying attention. Young Bermudian Arman Newton is threading his way through junior events with a mix of grit and flashes of real scoring punch. He’s been juggling the Canadian junior circuit and local Caribbean tournaments, and the numbers show a player who is learning fast and still making waves.
Solid showings at the CJGA Mizuno National Junior Championship
On the Canadian junior tour, at the CJGA Mizuno National Junior Championship held at Carlisle Golf Club, Newton finished tied for 15th after three rounds. His total for the event was +14 over par — not headline-grabbing yet, but steady and full of promise.
The round-by-round story makes the progress clear. He opened with an 8-over 80, which is the kind of start that can rattle a young player. Instead, he bounced back. Round two tightened up dramatically: a 3-over 75 that included a lone birdie and a lot of pars — thirteen, to be exact. He followed that up with another 3-over 75 in round three, showing consistency and composure in the middle stretches of a tough national field.
Back home: Cedarberry Bowl sparks a different kind of highlight
Back in Bermuda, at the Cedarberry Bowl hosted at Tucker’s Point Golf Club, Newton recorded the lowest round of the penultimate day. He shot a 3-over 73 that packed two birdies, a bogey and two double bogeys — a rollercoaster round that still landed him near the top of the standings.
That 73 put him four shots back of leader Oliver Betschart, who was sitting on a total of 151 after a tough 9-over 79. Newton’s division was the Blue Championship Division, while the event overall also featured a White Championship Division led by Lewis MacFarlane (156), a Red 9-Hole Division topped by Freddie Jones, and an entry-level Novice Division for 8-to-11-year-olds.
Recent win and promising past results
Confidence comes from wins, and Newton has one recently under his belt. He won the Thanksgiving Challenge on the Hill, a 36-hole test that he completed in 4-over 112, finishing a neat nine shots ahead of the runner-up. That kind of margin doesn’t happen by accident — it points to a player who can dominate a field when his game is working.
Looking further back, Newton carried national colours to Jamaica at the 36th Caribbean Amateur Junior Golf Championship in Kingston. Played over 54 holes at the Caymanas Golf Club, he was the runner-up in the U15 Boys Division with rounds of 75, 77 and 75. That showing helped mark Bermuda’s first appearance in the event as an associate member of the regional golf association — a milestone for the island and for young players like Newton.
Another Bermudian, Sienna Mosquera, also delivered a strong outing at the same Jamaica event, finishing fourth in the U18 Girls Division with rounds of 81, 80 and 89. Those results underline a growing presence from Bermuda in regional junior golf.
What this looks like for Newton going forward
The signs are straightforward: Newton is building experience. His scores swing — double bogeys and birdies are part of his story — but he’s shown an ability to recover and to post low-ish rounds when it counts. Playing across Canadian and Caribbean events gives him exposure to different course types and pressures, which is vital for long-term development.
For golf fans tracking junior talent, Newton is one to watch. He’s got a national title in his pocket, solid finishes in international fields, and the kind of competitive stretch that breeds confidence. Expect more headlines, more tight finishes, and possibly breakthrough wins as he tightens up the mistakes and keeps drilling the good stuff.
