Colombian golfer Ricardo Celia, with a total of 140 strokes (-4) in 36 holes, achieved the first objective of his 2025 season at the end in the tenth position in points of the Fortinet Cup and qualify for the second half of the 2025 campaign of the PGA Tour Américas.
This after the closure of the inter -rapid golf Championship, the sixth stop of the circuit endorsed by the PGA Tour, which concluded this Sunday in the field of the El Rincón de Cajicá club, north of the Colombian capital. The championship was affected by climatic conditions, as the two final rounds were canceled.
Showing a prominent level of play in these first months of the year, 'Pipo' finished this portion of the season with two scores 67-73 blows, drawing in box 36 with 140 blows (-4). Celia's campaign showed even performance and already registers four Top-20 and just a failed cut.
It will continue on the search for the return to Korn Ferry Tour in 2026, a task that will begin to complete in mid -July when the Canadian portion of the Tour starts, in the NB Open and as the first of the eight tournaments in the northern country that are scheduled until mid -September.
The caleño Nicolás Quintero, with total of 142 blows (-2), remained as the second best of Colombians in the inter-rapid golf Championship, sharing the 55th position in the order. With pending holes to play this Sunday, Quintero got up early to finish his score for his second consecutive round of 71 blows in the week.
The Bogota Esteban Jaramillo, in his debut as a professional, was put 79 with 144 (Par court), while the also Bogota Felipe Álvarez and Óscar Hernandes culminated in positions 87 (with +1) and 94 (in +2), respectively. Sergio Franky, finally, was 110 with a global 149 (+5).
The victory, in a tight end, corresponded to the American Davis Lamb, author of a sensational 61 (-11) in the first 18 holes that kept him forward and complemented with a solid 68 (-4) that gave him 129 (-15) with which he rose with the trophy.
Due to the rain cut, Lamb played his 36 holes on Saturday, staying waiting for any of his rivals to approach. One of them, the Argentine Abel Gallegos, who started the day at 7 blows, stepped on the accelerator and was about to star in the historic comeback.
With ten Birdies and a Bogey in his first 17 holes, Gallegos matched the leadership in 15, but unfortunately committed a bogey in the 18 that left him with -14 in the second position. The Americans Phillip Barbaree, Walker Lee and Scott Stevens, as well as the Canadian Aj Ewart (-10) shared third position.
Once this quotation from the inter -rapid golf Championship, the PGA Tour Américas will be paused until mid -July, when the second half of the season begins to be completed.
