Castro places second on Nationwide Tour Ex-Tech star within range of PGA Tour card

In professional golf, the difference of just one shot in a round can have a huge impact on the career of a player, even if that shot takes place outside tournament competition.

After finishing second in a recent Nationwide Tour tournament in Wichita, Alpharetta’s Roberto Castro is in position to earn an exempt spot on that tour next year, and will have the chance to play his way onto the 2011 PGA Tour if he excels the rest of this season.
