In an event marked by dedication to César Rivera, an emblematic figure of national golf, the Punta Blanca Golf Club Invitational Tournament celebrated its 18th edition in Bávaro.

Rodríguez demonstrated his skill on the course designed by Nick Price, completing two impeccable rounds with a total of 149 strokes. The golfer expressed his satisfaction after the victory, highlighting his familiarity with the course and overcoming the difficult weather conditions.

This is the house of the AGLA and I play a lot here in Punta Blanca, so its design is very familiar to me. It was two days of tough competition playing under a strong climate of inclement heat, but I managed to overcome it and managed to put in two good rounds that ultimately gave me the victory.
