Quotes
"It’s an amazing opportunity, especially as an amateur," Mexico's Santiago De la Fuente said about taking part in the 2024 US Open after he won the annual Latin American Amateur Championship in January.
"I think a good result is great when you’re a professional, but it’s even better if you do it as an amateur. So I think just having this opportunity right before I turn professional is a privilege.
"My goal this week is just to take advantage of it as much as possible."
