Mateo Pulcini qualified for The 154th Open after winning the 2026 Latin America Amateur Championship in dramatic fashion.

Mateo Pulcini qualified for The 154th Open after winning the 2026 Latin America Amateur Championship in dramatic fashion.

The Argentinian, who at 25 became the oldest player to win the event, came out on top after a tense playoff with Virgilio Paz Valdes at Lima Golf Club in Peru.

January's victory brought with it a place at Royal Birkdale this summer where Pulcini will make his Open debut providing he maintains his amateur status ahead of the Championship.

His performance in Lima came off the back of an impressive 2025 season which saw the Oklahoma University graduate achieve three wins and a further nine top ten finishes in the amateur ranks, including sixth at last year’s Latin America Amateur Championship.
