CAMILO VILLEGAS NEWS

First top-10 since 2023 Villegas fired a six-under 66 on Sunday at The American Express to finish in a share of seventh place.

Impact Villegas' week was highlighted by a second-round 62 at the Nicklaus Tournament Course, and he closed strong with seven birdies Sunday to climb into the top-10. He stood out statistically by ranking in the top-10 in SG: Approach and around the green across two rounds at the Stadium Course. It's a much needed result for Villegas, who failed to post a top-25 across 27 starts last year.
