Personal

Likes soccer better than golf.

Remembers one of the first times playing golf he went with his brother and his mom to play the shorter holes at his course. Was still using plastic clubs at the time.

Favorite drink is a strawberry horchata de freza, top dessert is a banana cream pie from Jeffrey's in his hometown and favorite food is tortas ahogadas, translated as a "drowned submarine sandwich."

Is affiliated with the La Barranca School charity because it was created by close family friends.

Was college teammates at Arkansas for two seasons with Korn Ferry Tour member Nicolas Echavarria.

Amateur Highlights

Won the 2019 Latin America Amateur Championship for his fourth top-three in five starts at the event. Defeated Costa Rica’s Luis Gagne by two shots in January 2019 (66-72-70) at the Teeth of the Dog in the Dominican Republic. Eagled No. 12 and then added birdies on Nos. 13, 17 and 18 to gain entry to the 2019 Masters Tournament.

Made the cut at the 2019 Masters, finishing T36 with six others. Was the second-lowest amateur, behind Norway’s Viktor Hovland (T32), in his last start as an amateur. Became the first Mexican to play in the Masters since Victor Regalado in 1979.

Lost in a playoff at the 2017 Latin American Amateur, falling to Toto Gana. Held the 54-hole lead at the same tournament in 2018, falling on the final day to Chile’s Joaquin Niemann.

Played collegiately at University of Arkansas for four seasons (2014-18), recording two victories and earning 2018 All-America Honorable Mention and All-Southeastern Conference Second Team recognition.

Reached as high as No. 46 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

Represented Mexico in the Eisenhower Trophy in 2014, 2016, and 2018.

Made his PGA TOUR Latinoamerica debut at the 2013 Mexican Open (missed the cut), and made his first cut on PGA TOUR Latinoamerica at the 2018 Mexican Open (went on to finish T21).
