After two rounds, Omar Morales got his second straight 69 to lead the Latin America Amateur Championship. He is currently two-under-par while playing at the Santa Maria Golf Club in Panama. Also, Mateo Fuenmayor from Colombia is currently one stroke behind. They are the only two golfers under par after playing 36 holes.
Out of all the players on the field this week, Morales has the best ranking. Also, he played golf for USC and competed in the US Open at Los Angeles Country Club last year.
According to sportsbook pay per head reports, round two’s turn came on what appeared to be a shaky putting green for the Mexican, as he lost three strokes on the front nine. He made birdies on the eleventh and twelfth. However, he regained composure and finished with pars.
Mateo Fuenmayor of Colombia had a two-under-par 68 in the morning round, putting him one-under-par for the day at the halfway point. Santiago De la Fuente (Mexico) and Andrey Xavier (Brazil) tied at one-over in the tournament standings on Friday.
Latin America Amateur Championship Recap
According to pay per head bookie solution reports, Vicente Marzilio of Argentina shot a steady 70 to sit one over for the event. Marzilio was a pre-tournament favorite and had finished second and third in the previous two LAACs.
Some of Friday’s early starts were Jose Arzu of Guatemala, who had been co-leader overnight. Even though he wasn’t playing at his best, the 19-year-old still managed to score a 73 and move into a two-over position after 36 holes.
Because of the difficult conditions on the Santa Maria course, the cut appears to occur at +13. According to pay per head services experts, Panama this week offers rewards that might change a person’s life forever.
If the LAAC is won, the winner will be eligible to play in the 2024 Masters at Augusta National Golf Club, the 152nd Open at Royal Troon, and, for the second time, the 124th US Open at Pinehurst.
