Camilo Villegas triumphs in emotional return, secures Bermuda Championship title

Posted : 13 November 2023
Camilo Villegas, after nearly a decade's wait, triumphantly clinched the Bermuda Championship on the PGA Tour, marking a significant milestone in his career. The 41-year-old Colombian golfer secured a notable win at the Port Royal Golf Course, finishing two strokes ahead of Sweden's Alex Noren on a memorable Sunday.
 
This long-awaited victory for Villegas holds profound personal significance as it marks his first triumph since the heartbreaking loss of his 22-month-old daughter, Mia, to cancer in 2020. Speaking after the win, Villegas shared the emotional connection he felt during the game, mentioning how he sensed his daughter's presence and smiling spirit guiding him throughout the tournament. He expressed gratitude for the unwavering support and encouragement he received from the people on the island, believing in the energy and enthusiasm that propelled him towards success.
 
Villegas, ranked 318th globally, displayed exceptional prowess, delivering a stellar final round, carding a remarkable score of 65. His performance, adorned with six birdies, culminated in a six-under par finish, placing him atop the leaderboard at an impressive 24 under. Overwhelmed by the moment, he described the victory as an inexplicable experience, acknowledging the highs and lows of both life and the game of golf, emphasizing the relentless challenges they pose.
 
This significant win not only signifies Villegas' return to the winner's circle but also grants him entry into prestigious tournaments, including the Masters, PGA Championship, and Players Championship in the upcoming year. Furthermore, the victory secures exempt status on the US tour until 2025, marking a pivotal moment in his professional journey.
