Mexico’s Omar Morales fired a superb third round of 65, despite finishing with a double bogey on the 18th, to lead the Latin America Amateur Championship (LAAC) at the Santa Maria Golf Club in Panama. Morales heads the way by three shots from his countryman Santiago De la Fuente. Morales is now just one round away from earning himself a start in The 2024 Masters Tournament, The Open Championship and the US Open.
Morales is the highest ranked player in the field this week. The 20-year-old competed in last year’s US Open at Los Angeles Country Club and is a member of the University of Los Angeles golf team.
