In the third Major of the golf season, two Mexican golfers, Omar Morales and Santiago de la Fuente, stand out. Omar Morales, a student at UCLA, has secured a card to play in one of the most recognized golf tournaments for the second time, securing his place through qualifying.
Morales, who was born in Puebla, deeply values his brother’s presence in his career. After his last play, a successful putt, Morales confirmed his participation in the US OPEN.
How many Mexican golfers will we see at the US OPEN? Santiago de la Fuente and Omar Morales are the two Mexican amateurs who will have the privilege of playing in one of the Four Majors of the year. De la Fuente earned his spot by winning the Latin America Amateur Champions 2024 earlier this year and also participated in the Masters of Augusta.
On the other hand, Omar Morales will have another opportunity to compete with the best golfers in the world in one of the most important tournaments. He left a positive impression on his debut last year.
Raul Pereda, another Mexican golfer from Veracruz, tried to secure a spot in Pinehurst through the playoff, but unfortunately, he was eliminated.
