Beginning in 2013, Roman played extensively on the Connecticut PGA (CTPGA) Junior Tour, posting wins at the nine-hole Jackman Memorial in 2014, the SANDRI Junior Invitational in 2017 and the Crestview Junior Open in 2018.
 
In 2019, he capped his CTPGA experience with a win at the Champions TOUR Classic, shooting 71-69 at Shennecossett Golf Course. That year, he also became the youngest Men's Club Champion at his home club, Shuttle Meadow Country Club.
 
On the high school level, he won the season-ending Kingswood-Oxford Invitational as a sophomore, capturing the New England private-school event by shooting a 66 for a new tournament record.
