Mathis "plays down" to 3rd Place at Nationwide Tour Rex Hospital Open

BGS Client, David Mathis, took advantage of what could have been a week off to compete in the Nationwide Tour Rex Hospital Open at TPC Wakefield near Raleigh, NC this past week. Even though he is an exempt member of the PGA Tour, David was not in the field at the Crowne Plaza Invitational @ Colonial, so he chose to "play down" on the Nationwide Tour. This decision gave him home course favor and earned him a third place finish and $35,700 for finishing at -15 for the week.

Justin Bolli enjoyed his best finish of the 2009 season with an 11th place finish at twelve under par for the week. Brad Fritsch made the most of a sponsor's exemption to finish 30th at his home course. These much needed earnings will assist both players as the Nationwide Tour prepare to reshuffle standings for tournament entry in the coming weeks. Henrik Bjornstad started off hot in Raleigh but cooled on the weekend for a 47th place finish. Henrik is currently ranked #17 on the Nationwide Tour Money List.

Roberto Castro wins again at

Spring Creek Championship

Congratulations to BGS Client, Roberto Castro on his latest victory on the eGolf Professional Golf Tour. The former Georgia Tech standout birdied three of his last four holes, including a birdie at the par-5 18th. This win at the eGolf Professional Tour's $300,000 Spring Creek Championship in Gordonsville, Virginia earned him a $50,000 first-place prize, the largest of his young professional career.

Castro, who won his first professional tournament at the Spring Creek Classic at the same venue in 2007, began the round trailing by three, but knew from past experience that a difficult final round lay in wait.

"I've played two tournaments here before, and I knew the front nine pins would be brutal the last day. So I kind of knew that going in," said Castro. "The back nine you can usually get at, so I kind of hung in there on the front and knew I could make some birdies on the back."

This win marks Robert's third victory in on the eGolf Professional Tour since turning professional in 2007.
