CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Argentina’s Miguel Carballo won the Children’s Hospital Classic on Sunday for his second career Nationwide Tour title, making three eagles in an 8-under 64 en route to a two-stroke victory.

Carballo, also the 2007 Panama Championship winner in his first tour start, finished at 24-under 264 at Black Creek Mountain. He earned $90,000 to jump from 21st to fifth on the money list with $248,971. The top 25 after the final three events of the season will earn 2012 PGA Tour cards.

Carballo eagled the par-5 sixth, and made 30-foot eagle putts on par-5 14th and par-4 15th.

Monday qualifier Brice Garnett shot a 67 to finish second. Aaron Goldberg (65) was third at 21 under.
