The fifth Menpora–PAGI International Junior Golf Championship concluded on 15 October 2026 at Emeralda Golf Club, Depok, West Java, Indonesia. Organised by Perkumpulan Akademi Golf Indonesia (PAGI) and sanctioned by the Indonesia Golf Association (PB PGI), it provided an international test for emerging golfers. The two overall gross titles went to different countries: Indonesia's Eugene Emmanuel Tanyongjaya won the boys' division, while Thailand's Supapit Pruksanubal topped the girls.

Tanyongjaya delivers 207 over 54 holes

The Indonesian finished on 207 strokes, nine under par, with rounds of 71, 67 and 69. A strong second-round 67 put him in a position to control the finish. His final round contained six birdies and three bogeys for 69 (−3), according to local specialist coverage. GolfMagz and OB Golf also reported a tournament-wide total of 19 birdies and ten bogeys.

Nine under is the difference between 207 strokes taken and a cumulative par of 216 for the three rounds; it does not necessarily describe the count of birdies. In interviews with Indonesian golf publications, the young player described his effort to keep expectations under control and attend to each individual shot rather than the leaderboard. He singled out putting focus as an important part of his approach.

Pruksanubal leads the girls' competition

Thailand's Supapit Pruksanubal returned 73, 73 and 72 for 218 (+2). These figures appear in the official Indonesia Golf Amateur Ranking event record. Her score was the best overall in the girls' competition. Compatriot Boonyapat Srisomboon finished on 222 and is named the Girls Division B award winner in OB Golf's published prize list, whereas GolfMagz describes Supapit as leading that division. This discrepancy in age-group award listings does not change the official scores of 218 and 222 strokes.

Meanwhile, Indonesia's Abigail Rhea Soeryo Wiharko took Girls Division A with 222 (+6). Singapore's Passion Hsu was second in that age class at 229 (+13), and Indonesia's Mischa Sutojo third at 231 (+15). The overall girls' champion and Girls A champion are therefore different golfers, representing different age brackets; combining those titles would misstate the results.

Tight Boys A countback; an Indonesian Boys B sweep

Nguyen Trong Hoang of Vietnam and Asyrafa Danish Suryanto of Indonesia both finished Boys Division A on 210 (−6). Nguyen ranked first on countback, rather than a reported sudden-death playoff. Indonesia's Kifata Aftar followed on 213 (−3).

The Boys Division B podium was entirely Indonesian. Francesco J. Noah Hartono won on 218 (+2), followed by Fadhlan Azzam Atmajah on 219 (+3) and Jeremiah Alessandro on 220 (+4). Separate boys' and girls' classes at younger levels C and D also awarded titles.

Why the Depok event matters

The championship ran 13–15 October. The association's published ranking entry lists 81 golfers in the three-round ranked event. That number should not be casually treated as a verified headcount for every younger age group: divisions A and B played 54 holes, while C and D had 36-hole, two-round competitions. Reports using broader participation figures may refer to different subsets of the event.

Indonesia's overall boys' win, its complete Boys B podium and Girls A victory speak to depth across junior age groups. Yet a Thai overall girls' winner and a Vietnamese Boys A champion show why the international element matters. Competition beyond familiar local fields gives players an opportunity to test course management, stroke-play consistency, shot execution and patience against different styles.
