Carlos started to play golf with his father at the Guadalajara Country Club, home club of LPGA great Lorena Ochoa whose dedication to the sport inspired him when he was a kid. For him golf is “the most challenging sport to play” and it gives him the biggest thrill when in competition. Carlos earned his fully exempt status on the PGA Tour as a three-time, single-season winner on the Web.com Tour in 2014. With his victory at the 2021 Vivint Houston Open Carlos became the third Mexican to win on the PGA Tour in 42 years. His dream foursome would include Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Carlos supports charitable foundations like the La Barranca in his hometown of Guadalajara.
