The picturesque greens of Kelab Golf Seri Selangor in Malaysia will host the 2nd Selangor International Junior Golf Championship from 3 to 5 November, an event that promises to showcase the remarkable talent of young golfers from across the Asia-Pacific Region. Among these rising stars, Sri Lanka is gearing up to make its mark, with a contingent of promising juniors teaming up with Reshan Algama, Kumar Danushan, Jevahn Sathasivam and Adithya Weerasinghe.

Reshan Algama, a name well-recognized in Sri Lankan golf circles, is coming off a strong performance at the recently concluded event in Thailand. Finishing in the top half of the leaderboard, Algama demonstrated his prowess on an international stage.

Kumar Dhanushan, another world-ranked player. Dhanushan’s presence adds depth and experience to the Sri Lankan team, making them a force to be reckoned with in the tournament.

Among the rising stars of Sri Lankan Golf, two young talents are poised to captivate the golfing world. Jevahn Sathasivam and Aditya Weerasinghe. Jevahn, another top-class performance in the last 2 days, ended in a very respectable position in Thailand. Within a short span of time in golf, he has made a mark for himself, which speaks volumes for the youngster.

Adithya Weerasinghe too came through the junior golf program and is the first lad from Anuradhapura to represent in golf at national level. Weerasinghe’s remarkable journey to this event underscores the depth of talent that Sri Lanka is nurturing in junior golf and the hard work done by the junior golf committee at SLG.

The Selangor International Junior Golf Championship features competitors within the age limit of 18 and below, making the Sri Lankan team one of the youngest collective participants in the tournament. With Reshan Algama and Jevahn Sathasivam leading the way, Sri Lanka’s golfing future appears bright, and this event presents a golden opportunity for these young talents to showcase their skills on an international stage.
