Fresh off his win in the Georgia Open, Roberto Castro scored his second victory of the season on the eGolf Professional Tour (formerly Tar Heel Tour) at the Club at Savannah Harbor.
Castro, an Alpharetta resident and recent standout at Georgia Tech, shot 65-66-69-69—269, 19-under on the outstanding Bob Cupp design, which is the host of the Champions Tour Legends of Golf. Castro led the event from the opening round, notching his win with a steady final round, while his two main pursuers both suffered late bogeys to drop out of a share of the lead.
The $40,000 winner’s check boosted Castro’s earnings for the year to $108,400 and then top spot on the eGolf tour money list. The week after winning the Georgia Open at Barnsley Gardens, Castro tied for fourth in an eGolf event, highlighted by a course record 62 in the second round at River Run in Davidson, N.C.
Hooters Tour at Southern Hills: Southern Hills in Hawkinsville hosted a recent Hooters Tour tournament, with former Alabama golfer Chip Deason shooting 28-under 260 to win by two strokes.
Deason, a Lexington, S.C. resident, shot 64-63-64-69, with his only bogey of the tournament coming on the 71st hole. Matt Hughes of Dalton, also a former member of the Alabama golf team, tied for 13th at 272, with Hawkinsville’s Jon Kennedy closing with a 64, the low score of the final round, to tie for 24th at 274.
