GOOD LUCK, SANTIAGO!
This week, Houston will be without the services of senior All-American Santiago De La Fuente, who is competing as an amateur at The Masters at Augusta National Golf Club.
De La Fuente earned his place in The Masters by capturing the title at the Latin America Amateur Championship at Santa Maria Golf Club in Panama City, Panama, in late January. He posted scores of 66-64 during the final two rounds to earn medalist honors by two strokes.
In addition to his invitation to The Masters, De La Fuente also received exemptions as the Latin America Amateur Championship medalist to play in the 2024 U.S. Open Championship at Pinehurst Resort and Country Club (Course No. 2) in the Village of Pinehurst, N.C., on June 13-16 and 2024 The Open Championship, set for Royal Troon Old Course in Troon, South Ayrshire, Scotland on July 18-21.
