Justin Hastings of the Cayman Islands won the 2025 Latin America Amateur Championship after a marathon double session (and anticipated rain the following day) forced the final round to be contested on Saturday afternoon at Pilar Golf Club in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Due to the anticipated inclement weather forecast for Sunday, the final round was moved up to Saturday afternoon following the conclusion of the third round. The decision led to a 36-hole sprint on Saturday, culminating in Hastings’ victory in the final group as the sun set.
In a test of physical and mental endurance, Hastings finished at 16-under 272, one shot clear of Patrick Sparks of Peru. Hastings becomes the second player from the Cayman Islands to win the Championship, following close friend Aaron Jarvis, who won in 2022. Hastings will play in the 2025 Masters Tournament at Augusta National, The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush and the 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club.
“It's still crazy to think about. I don't think it's totally kicked in,” said the emotional winner after rounds of 64 (the best of the championship) and 72 strokes. “I definitely learned a lot today and I learned that I still have things to work on in those moments but at the same time, I'm proud to see how far my mental game has come in the last few years.”
The 21-year-old will become the first player from the Cayman Islands to compete in the U.S. Open and the second to compete in the Masters and The Open. Jarvis competed at Augusta National and made the cut at the Old Course (St Andrews) in 2022 following his victory.
