Matias Dominguez, of Chile, holed a short bogey putt on the 72nd hole to hold off Alejandro Tosti, of Argentina, by one stroke and capture the inaugural Latin America Amateur Championship with an 11-under-par total of 277 at Pilar Golf course outside of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Dominguez earned an exemption into the 2015 Masters Tournament, as well as exemptions into The Amateur Championship (conducted by The R&A) and the U.S. Amateur Championship (conducted by the United States Golf Association). He also earned spots in final qualifying for The Open 2015 and the 2015 U.S. Open.

Dominguez, 22, the third-round leader by one stroke over Tosti, carded a final-round 71 as the championship came down to a near match-play situation between the two competitors. Dominguez led by three strokes after nine holes, but the lead was whittled to one when Tosti birdied the 303-yard, par-4 15th after driving the green and Dominguez bogeyed the next hole, the par-4 16th.

The 178-yard, par-3 17th proved pivotal. Tosti hit his tee shot to 20 feet, inside Dominguez, who was on the fringe. But Dominguez putted up to tap-in range, and Tosti knocked his birdie try 4 feet past the hole, then missed his par putt to restore Dominguez’s margin to two strokes with one hole to play.

Dominguez played conservatively on the par-4 18th, which features water on the right and in front of the green, and tapped in for bogey from 2 feet to earn the victory after Tosti made him earn it by saving his own par from 5 feet.

“It was going well until probably the 13th hole,” said Dominguez, who won the tournament as a senior at Texas Tech University. “The crowd made it really hard for me to focus. It’s almost impossible to keep calm in that position, but I tried to do my best. On that short putt [on No. 18], I couldn’t even feel anything.”
