Davis Lamb Dominates in Bogotá With Bogey-Free Masterclass to Win Inter Rapidisimo Championship
SUNRISE ON THE ANDES – CLUB EL RINCÓN DE CAJICÁ, COLOMBIA
And there it is, folks! What a performance from Davis Lamb—pure control, composure, and clutch golf in the thin Bogotá air!
The 27-year-old from Bethesda, Maryland, now calling Palm Beach Gardens, Florida home, went bogey-free for 36 holes, firing rounds of 61 and 68 to finish at 15-under par, capturing the Inter Rapidisimo Golf Championship in stylish fashion. Lamb’s win marks a milestone moment in the PGA TOUR Americas season, sending him soaring to No. 2 in the Fortinet Cup standings.
“That was a clinic, plain and simple,” said one PGA TOUR Americas commentator. “Three eagles, nine birdies, and not a single misstep—that’s how you close out a Latin America swing.”
🏆 Lamb Locks In
From the opening tee shot, Lamb set the tone—an 11-under 61 in the first round with not one, not two, but three eagles. He followed that up with a cool and collected 68 to hold off Argentina’s Abel Gallegos by a single stroke.
The win secures Lamb conditional Korn Ferry Tour membership for 2026 and keeps him within 51 points of current Fortinet Cup leader John Marshall Butler as the tour shifts to North America.
🇦🇷 Gallegos Comes Up Just Short, Vaults Up the Rankings
Let’s tip our caps to Abel Gallegos, who was a picture of consistency all week. With back-to-back 65s, the Argentine finished just one shot off the pace at 14-under, locking up the Low-Latin honors and jumping inside the top-20 of the Fortinet Cup at No. 16.
📈 Top 60 Movement: Who Made the Leap?
Several players made their move this weekend, securing exempt status for the North America Swing:
| Player | Start of Week | End of Week |
|---|---|---|
| Abel Gallegos | N/A | No. 16 |
| Scott Stevens | N/A | No. 41 |
| Derek Hitchner | No. 109 | No. 45 |
| Marcos Montenegro | No. 68 | No. 43 |
| Yuxin Lin | No. 85 | No. 58 |
| Paul Chaplet | No. 62 | No. 40 |
Big swings, big implications—especially with North America’s stretch kicking off July 3 in Fredericton, New Brunswick, for the Explore NB Open at Mactaquac.
