Lerda beats Cocha in Argentina championship final
Julian Lerda beat fellow Argentinian Tomas Cocha by 8 and 6 in the 36-hole final of the Argentina men's amateur open championship at Highland Park Country Club, Buenos Aires.
Lerda was five up after nine holes, four up after 18 and five up after 27.
England's Andrew Sullivan, the No 5 qualifier for the match-play stages, lost by one hole in the second round to Ramiro Fernandez de Vera (Argentina).
The last surviving foreign player to go out was Norway's Espen Kofstad who lost by one hole in the semi-finals to Lerda.
Cocha beat yet another Argentinian - Franco Grillo - by 5 and 4 in the other semi-final.
Grillo had beaten Richard Jung (Canada) by 4 and 2 in the quarter-finals. Six of the last eight were from the host nation - a big change from last year when Frenchman Romain Wattel beat Scotland's Ross Kellett in the final.
