The biggest spoils understandably went to the victor Sunday afternoon at the Children’s Hospital Classic at Black Creek.
You drop three eagles in the cup the way Miguel Angel Carballo did, you richly deserve both the $90,000 winner’s check and the PGA Tour card he almost certainly secured with this victory.
Especially when it’s just your second Nationwide Tour win ever and first in four years. Heck, the last time Carballo won, his girlfriend had to caddie for him because he didn’t have enough money to pay for a real bag man.
Said the winner of the joy expected to blanket his hometown of Bahia Blanca, Argentina, when news of his triumph arrived, “My family and friends will have a fantastic party.”
Actually, that’s what we think he said because the 32-year-old Carballo struggles with English, which forced his caddie, David Walker, to translate his remarks.
