TAMPA, JAN. 14, 2016 – USF’s Claudio Correa is near the front of the pack after the first round of the Latin America Amateur Championship on Thursday.
Correa carded four birdies on the back nine on the way to an even-par 72 at Casa De Campo in La Romana, Dominican Republic. The sophomore from Santiago, Chile is tied for 13th place and four shots away from leaders Alvaro Ortiz and Jose Andres Miranda.
The top 50 players, plus ties, will make the 36-hole cut at the prestigious event that continues with 36 more holes Saturday and Sunday.
