Amateur Golf Podcast: Devil's Elbow Mid-Am founder Erick Morales
10/30/2023 | by Sean Melia of AmateurGolf.com
Morales talks about starting a tournament, playing and caddying in PGA Tour events, and dealing with the cold at Rutgers.
Erick Morales is one of the founders and organizers of the Devils Elbow Invitational, a new Mid-Am event in the Dominican Republic that grants the winner an exemption to the Corales Punta Cana PGA Tour event. Morales is a decorated amateur himself, having finished second in the inaugural Mexico Mid-Am last year and he recently played in the US Mid-Am at Sleepy Hollow.
In addition, he has played in PGA Tour events and made the cut in one of them. The best man in Erick’s wedding was Rafa Campos, who recently benefited from the Shad Tuten penalty. Campos moved up and secured the 30th and final tour card after Tuten’s penalty dropped him back to 32nd in the rankings. Morales talks about caddying for Campos when he finished in second place to Joel Dahmen in 2021 and why he decided not to hop on Campos’ bag full-time.
