A spot in next summer’s Open Championship was secured on Sunday in Argentina.
Zack Fischer, a Korn Ferry Tour member playing in his first PGA Tour Latinoamerica event, won the Visa Argentine Open by a shot at Nordelta Golf Club in Buenos Aires to earn an exemption into the 2023 Open at Royal Liverpool.
“I’m just over the moon right now,” said Fischer, who will be making his major-championship debut July 20-23 in England.
Fischer shot 4-under 68 in the final round to edge Sweden’s Linus Lilliedahl as the two broke away from the field; the next closest competitors were Myles Creighton and Santiago Bauni at 12 under, six back of Fischer.
