Jevahn, Reshan to tee off in Indonesia

By Shamseer Jaleel

Two of Sri Lanka’s top-class junior golfers, Jevahn Sathasivam and Reshan Algama, will represent Sri Lanka at the Ciputra Golfpreneur Junior World Championship in Indonesia from June 10-12. 
Selected based on their current World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) status, they will compete among some of the best young talent from across the globe. Currently Jevahn is the highest-ranked junior amateur at 599, while Reshan is placed at 770. Both Reshan and Jevahn are seasoned campaigners on the junior circuit, having previously represented Sri Lanka in Nationals and for the Sri Lanka Junior teams. Their inclusion shows the country’s growing presence in international junior golf.
This will be Reshan’s third consecutive international tournament in 2025, following his recent performances at the APGC Junior Championship in Hong Kong and the Nepal Amateur Championship. His selection highlights his remarkable consistency and growing reputation on the global amateur stage. He was in peak form at the recently concluded Nepal event, securing number 4 out of 60 leading golfers.
Meanwhile, Jevahn returns to international competition after a short hiatus due to injury and academic priorities. A technically gifted golfer, Sathasivam’s return is highly anticipated, and the Ciputra Championship presents the ideal platform for his comeback. He had an outstanding 2024 at the Sri Lanka Amateur Open, Sri Lanka Junior Open and multiple Nick Faldo Series. Jevahn’s main strength is his powerful long-range shots, which are a constant occurrence in tournaments.
With his status as the national amateur champion, Jevahn is set to play in many events across Asia in the near future. Both Jevahn and Reshan are expected to have a good start and end on top among the best Junior golfers from Asia.
