O’Keefe has recorded multiple tournament victories at Little Rock Christian and helped the Warriors win their second consecutive Class 5A boys golf state championship in 2025. The team finished 15 strokes ahead of the field, while O’Keefe shot an even-par 71 to tie for second individually. In 2026, he finished runner-up at the Arkansas Overall Golf State Tournament.

On the junior golf circuit, O’Keefe won two tournaments in July 2023. He won the Masters 2-Day at GreyStone Golf Club with rounds of 69 and 73, finishing 2-under. Less than two weeks later, he won the Masters 2-Day at River Bend Country Club, shooting rounds of 76 and 72 to finish 4-over and eight strokes ahead of the runner-up.

O’Keefe and fellow Ole Miss signee Jack Denery won the 2026 Arkansas Junior Four-Ball Championship. They shot rounds of 61 and 65 to finish 14-under and claim the title by three strokes.
