“Give him champion, give him champion…”. Thus, at a soccer rhythm, ended the Latin American Amateur Championshipwhich saw Mateo Fernández de Oliveira crowned, a tremendous champion from whichever angle you look at him.
The 22-year-old Argentine closed a spectacular tournament, in which the label of being one of the favorites did not weigh on him. On the final day, in his fight with the Mexican Luis Carrera, second in the tournament, Fernández de Oliveira’s pulse did not tremble, imposing himself with authority.
Despite making a mistake on hole 3, the Argentine made six birdies, closing with -23 and making himself unreachable for Carrera. The Mexican, who also had brilliant moments, was four shots behind the monarch.
Awesome!
