has been talking about and that’s Camilo Villegas.
According to the twenty eight year old, being able to be a flag bearer for the golfing settlement Colombia has enabled him to experience a variety of courses around the world which is far greater than the worthwhile United States
course.
Villegas is currently standing at the position number thirty in the world ranking and considering his flag bearing habit, he has made a number of trips to the land called Australia. The golfer resides from Columbia and showed interest
in this game when his homeland had been soccer crazy. Villegas joined the PGA Tour in the year 2006 and the European Tour last year in 2009. Considering his entry into the Tour, the twenty eight year old said that he preferred to look at the bigger picture
of life contrary to a lot of professionals from his reign that either don’t posses this ability or just loves living in ignorance.
Regarding his goals, the 2004 turned professional said that his biggest goal had to be a top class golfer and therefore the main motivation behind his victories. He said that there are many reasons why he wants that and since he
grew in the land of Columbia, he is rather very open to the vastness this world presents.
He prefers he follows a broad minded approach since a lot of his countrymen don’t think playing outside America is that important.
“They just don’t think it’s important” Villegas said when he explained the close minded approach followed by his fellow U.S, golfers and how they don’t enjoy playing anywhere outside America,
He on the other hand has enjoys travelling, experience new place,s new cultures, new people and thus new experiences. Nicknamed “The Spiderman”, this golfer most favourite place to play is Australia and is well-known in the golfing
world due to his crouching pose while putting.
"That land has good people, great golf courses and amazing weather, so there’s no reason we shouldn’t love it"
Villegas is scheduled to play the starting two rounds with the Australian Michael Sim and Greg Chalmers. As far as the betting bureaus are concerned, they place Villegas as one of the top fancies for the Masters and rank him behind
the much-loved victor Tiger Woods along with the Victorian luminary Robert Allenby and Geoff Ogilvy.
