Segundo Oliva Pinto ends Argentina’s three-year drought with an 11-under win
Argentina’s Segundo Oliva Pinto, a University of Arkansas graduate, returned the Argentine Stroke Play Championship trophy to the host nation for the first time in three years, winning the 2025 edition at Olivos Golf Club with a 72-hole total of 273 (11-under). His rounds of 67-71-64-71 earned him a two-shot victory over Denmark’s Mads Heller, who posted 69-69-69-68 to finish at 9-under 275.
Oliva Pinto, ranked 215th on the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com rankings, began the final round tied for the lead at 11-under with compatriot Franco Ricciardelli, playing at his home club. Birdies on Nos. 1 and 9 helped steady his momentum, while bogeys at 3 and 15 kept the door slightly open. But as conditions tightened, so did Oliva Pinto’s control. His even-par 71 was enough to pull clear as Ricciardelli faded with a 74, dropping him to third at eight-under.
His win ends a two-year run of foreign champions — Brazil’s Andrey Borges Xavier in 2024 and Canada’s Brady McKinlay in 2023 — making Oliva Pinto the first Argentine winner since Juan Martín Loureiro lifted the trophy in 2022.
