Jamaica ended the 34th Caribbean Amateur Junior Golf Championship on a high even though they did not win the overall country trophy.

Two women — Samantha Azan and Emily Mayne — closed the championship on top of their age groups. Azan won the 15 and under and Mayne tied for first in the 18 and under.

Azan led on day one, dropped to third on day two, but bounced back to win outright on the final day by just one stroke ahead of day two leader Jamaican Mattea Issa. Issa tied for second with Victoria Rivera and Elvin Krishny of Puerto Rico.

Azan scored six over par 78 for a three-day total of 231, while Issa posted her worst score of the competition of nine over par 81 to end on 232.

Emily Mayne enjoyed a good tournament, moving from third on day one to first for the second day and the final day with scores of 74, one under par 70 (the only female to post an under par score) and 80 for a three-day total of 11 over par 224. Mayne tied with Emily Odwin of Barbados who also ended on 224 for the championship.

Eryn Blakely maintained her second day seventh place when she scored 80 to close the championship on 251.

Alessandra Coe was Jamaica’s lone female in the 13 and under category as she ended in eight place with scores of 103, 99 and 106 for a combined total of 92 over par 308. Ava Saavedra of Puerto Rico won the category after posting 21 over par 237. Her daily scores were 79, 82 and 76.

The results of the Jamaican female golfers are significant as it is the first time any female is winning any of the age group categories. Coaches Jason Lopez and Jonathan Newnham, who won an age group category as player, as well as team manager Alison Reid, were extremely proud of women’s performances.

Ryan Lue was the best placed Jamaican male as he competed in the 15 and under category and closed the championship in fourth place on 26 over par 239. His three-day scores were 83, 76 and 80.

Aaron Gosh on 167 ended in 10th place, while Lek Drummond was tied for 14th place with Camdyn Forbes of The Bahamas on 275.

The 15 and under category winner was Danny Lyne of the Cayman Islands after scoring 76 on the final day with a combined total of 13 over par 236.

Rocco Lopez ended in the eighth place in the 18 and under category as he scored 234 (76, 77, 78) over the three days. Trey Williams came 10th with his 241 (82, 80, 79), while Aman Dhiman was tied for 14th on 244. Alexander Dupuch of The Bahamas posted the same three-day total.

The 18 and under category went to Kelvin Hernandez of Puerto Rico with scores of 73, 68 and 69 for a combined total of three under par 210.

The final male age group of 13 and under went to Evan Pena of Puerto Rico who led on all three days. He posted scored of 73, 74, 81 for a combined total of 15 over par 228. The two Jamaicans — Kemari Morris (269) and Shasa Fedlefsen 272 — were eighth and ninth, respectively
