Uruguay finished 2nd and with this results both temas clasified to the World Junior Golf Championship to be played in June in Japan.

The girls team had a great tournament and won by a very high margin to their nearest competitor, Colombia. Junior number one player in the world Victoria Tanco led the team to a great victory with her partners Sofia Toccafondi and Jazmin Reina.
