Ricky Castillo - Golf News, Rumors, & Updates

T49 at Wyndham Championship Castillo carded a two-under 68 in the final round of the Wyndham Championship to finish tied for 49th.

Impact Castillo did just enough at Sedgefield Country Club to stay within the top-70 of the FedExCup Standings (68th) to qualify for the playoffs. He finished eighth in SG: Approach and 16th in SG: Around, though he also lost 4.48 strokes with his putter (76th) while ranking T60 in driving accuracy and 63rd in SG: Off-the-Tee. Castillo will tee off next week at the St. Jude Championship, and he'll need a strong performance at TPC Southwind to crack the top-50 of the FedExCup Standings for a spot in the BMW Championship and earn exemptions into all 2027 Signature Events.
