With the first Latin America Amateur Championship underway in Argentina, Casa de Campo's Teeth of the Dog course in the Dominican Republic has been selected to host the second edition in 2016.

This week, 109 golfers from 28 countries throughout Latin America descended upon Pilar Golf Club in Buenos Aires for the chance to win the inaugural event.

The champion of the LAAC earns a spot in the Masters. The winner and the runners-up also get an exemption into the final stages of qualifying for the U.S. Open and the Open Championship as well as spots in the U.S. Amateur and British Amateur and any other USGA amateur championship for which they are eligible.

The 2016 Latin America Amateur Championship will be played Jan. 14-17 on the Pete Dye-designed layout at Casa de Campo resort.
