HONOLULU (AP) -- Toto Gana hit what he described as the ''best shot I've hit in my whole life,'' a wedge to 3 feet for a birdie to win the Latin America Amateur Championship and earn a trip to the Masters in April.
His best shot produced his biggest trophy.
Asked what his greatest achievement in golf was before his victory in Panama, the 19-year-old from Chile said: ''I didn't have any achievements, to be honest. I had won a couple of tournaments at home when I was really, really young.''
The Latin America Amateur completed its third year, a stroke-play tournament created by Augusta National, the USGA and the Royal & Ancient to spur growth in that part of the world.
