LA ROMANA, Dominican Republic Luis Gagne couldnt have summed it up any more succinctly Sunday: You cant lay up into a bunker.Making his first and only Latin America Amateur Championship start for his native Costa Rica, Gagne finished runner-up to Mexicos Alvaro Ortiz on Sunday at Casa de Campo.Two back to start the day, Gagne took the outright lead with a birdie at No. 9 to make the turn in 4-under 32. Two more birdies on his second nine got him to the 17th hole tied for the lead at 12 under.With the tee pushed up on the drivable par 4, Gagne decided to lay back off the tee. Unfortunately, his attempt to play it safe ended with him finding a fairway bunker 90 yards short of the green.I thought I hit a club that would be short of the bunker, Gagne said. It was 190 to the trap and I tried to punch a 6-iron. It hit really, really good, and it took a big bounce.

From there, he sailed his downwind approach over the green and was probably lucky to have his ball hang on the bank above the beach and the Caribbean Sea. He pitched to 15 feet but was unable to make a lengthy par putt for the second hole in a row, as he had just done at the par-3 16th.On a hole where he needed to make birdie to keep pace, he finally made a bogey. It was Gagnes first dropped shot in 36 holes, dating back to his second round on Friday.He went on to two-putt for birdie at the par-5 18th and sign for a final-round 66, but a pair of closing birdies from Ortiz left Gagne exactly where he started the day, two shots back.Its definitely harder to swallow (knowing that it was a course management mistake), because thats something I can control, Gagne told GolfChannel.com on his way out of the media center. It was just poor club selection, honestly. You cant lay up into a bunker.The runner-up finish earned Gagne exemptions into U.S. Open sectional qualifying and Open Championship final qualifying later this year. Gagne will finish out his senior season at LSU before deciding exactly when he'll turn pro. The NCAA Mens Division I Golf Championship takes place the last week of May in Fayetteville, Ark. Sectional qualifying is scheduled for June 3.
