Willy Pumarol places third in Puerto Plata Open, qualifies for Pan Am Games
The winner of the Puerto Plata Open PGA Tour Latinoamerica this year was Chilean Cristóbal del Solar, who received a cash prize of US$31,500. He repeated the win from a year ago. The tournament was played from 2-5 May 2019 at the Playa Dorada Golf Course in Puerto Plata. It had a purse of US$175,000.
In the final round, local player Willy Pumarol had lead. The 30-year old Dominican golf player would end up placing third. That third place, though, was enough for him to become the first Dominican golfer to win a slot to play in a Panamerican Games, the summer Lima, Peru games. The Puerto Plata Open was a qualifier for those games.
Overall, it was a good tournament for Pumarol. He was No. 90 in earnings a week ago, but his tie for third in the Puerto Plata Open moved him up 71 positions after his $10,150 payday. He moved up in the golf ranking to position 1,305.
Another local, 21-year old Juan José Guerra was the winner of the best amateur trophy during the Puerto Plata Open.
