Ortiz wins home event for his 2nd Web.com title of year

Mexico's Carlos Ortiz won the El Bosque Mexico Championship on Sunday for his second Web.com Tour victory of the season.

The 22-year-old former North Texas player closed with a 4-under-par 68 at El Bosque Country Club for a two-stroke victory over Justin Thomas.

Ortiz, the Panama Claro Championship winner last month, earned $126,000 to jump from second to first on the money list with $304,458 -- well over the amount needed to earn a PGA Tour spot next season as a top-25 finisher.

From Guadalajara, Ortiz rebounded from an opening 74 with rounds of 67 and 66 for a share of the third-round lead with Nathan Green. Ortiz played the first 15 holes in 5 under Sunday, then bogeyed Nos. 16 and 17 before closing with a birdie on the par-5 18th.

Thomas finished with a 69.

Green, from Australia, had a 74 to drop into a tie for third at 7 under with Adam Hadwin, Jason Gore, Daniel Berger, Nathan Tyler and Jonathan Randolph.
