Villegas Breaks Through II
Hello. Congrats to Camilo Villegas for winning the Tour Championship Sunday. It was his 2nd win in a row after waiting 85 events. Both came in the Fedex Cup playoffs, which was both good and bad.
It was good because they came against quality fields. It was bad because the Fedex Cup was decided even after his first win, in Vijay Singh's favour.
And while this was an impressive win, coming back after being 5 shots back at one point, the 3 players Camilo passed (Anthony Kim, Phil Mickelson and, in a playoff, Sergio Garcia) all were probably fatigued by playing in the Ryder Cup. It certainly didn't hurt Villegas to have them coming from the Ryder Cup, while he vacationed in Columbia.
Still, Villegas can put up some great numbers when he gets on a roll. He now joins Singh, Garcia and Padraig Harrington as players who took big advantage of Tiger Woods' absence. It will be interesting to see how all 4 do in 2009.
Congrats again Camilo! You've come a long way.
Can hardly wait to see what happens in 2009.
Regards,
Steve
