Baryla Closes In On Tour Card

October 12, 2009 by GNN

Chris Baryla of Vernon, B.C., took a giant step towards a full-time PGA Tour card for 2010 on Sunday, when he won the Chattanooga Classic for his first Nationwide Tour victory.

Chris Baryla lines up a putt at the 2009 Candian Open.

Baryla shot a two-under 70 for a 19-under 269 and earned $90,000 to move from 57th to 20th on the money list with two events remaining on the schedule. The top 25 earn their PGA Tour cards.

Baryla has shown flashes of solid play this year despite being hampered by a back injury for most of the year. In July, he tied for eighth at the RBC Canadian Open at Glen Abbey in Oakville, Ont.

Bryan DeCorso of Guelph, Ont., tied for 11th, four shots off the pace.
