Ortiz determined to beat his brother to Augusta
PANAMA CITY, Panama - Carlos Ortiz earned a battlefield promotion to the PGA Tour in 2014 after winning three times that season on the Web.com Tour.
The first of those victories came at the Claro Panama Championship, played at Panama Golf Club, where his younger brother now seeks to win the Latin America Amateur Championship.
Following a third-round 67 that included three birdies, two bogeys and an eagle, Mexico's Alvaro Ortiz shares the 2-under-par lead at the LAAC with Chile's Toto Gana. The pair will play with another Chilean - Joaquin Niemann (-1), the fifth-ranked player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking - in the final group on Sunday.
