Villegas Ends 9-year Emotional Drought, Bhatia Finishes 20th In Bermuda

By IANS News November 13, 2023 • 20:14 PM View: 314

Compatriot Marty Zecheng Dou: Colombian star Camilo Villegas ended a long and emotional drought, lasting over nine years, when he holed key birdies in the final round of 6-under 65 to win the Butterfield Bermuda Championship golf.

It was his first since 2014, but most importantly an emotional one since he lost his 22-month-old daughter to cancer in 2020.

Villegas stood erect, pumping his fist, and then looked skyward before players rushed onto the green to celebrate. Villegas went shot for shot with Alex Noren for five hours until all he had left was a tap-in for par for his first PGA TOUR title since 2014.
