Hadwin, Sloan earn PGA Tour cards for 2015..

Carlos Ortiz won the Portland Open on Sunday for his third Web.com Tour victory of the season, making him fully exempt for the 2014-15 PGA Tour season that starts in October.


The 23-year-old Mexican closed with an even-par 71 for a one-stroke victory in the regular-season finale. He earned $144,000 to push his tour-leading total to $515,403, with the top 25 on the money list getting PGA Tour cards.

Ortiz finished at 14-under 270 on Pumpkin Ridge’s Witch Hollow course. The former North Texas player opened with rounds of 66, 63 and 70 to take a two-stroke lead over Canada’s Adam Hadwin into the final day

Hadwin and Jason Gore tied for second to each earn $70,400. Gore finished with a 66, and Hadwin had a 70. Hadwin jumped from 10th to fourth on the money list with $293,667, and Gore moved from 17th to ninth with $253,046

When the final putt dropped the first 25 of 50 PGA Tour cards available via the Web.com Tour were handed out. Among the graduates are Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C. and Roger Sloan of Merritt, B.C., who finished fourth and 24th respectively

An additional 25 cards will be on-the-line at the four-event series, which begin Thursday with the Hotel Fitness Championship in Fort Wayne, Ind. These 25 cards will be based on money earned in the Finals. The 50 card earners will join the PGA Tour for the 2014-15 season, which begins in October.
