Jorge Campillo striped all 14 fairways on his way to a 6-under-par 31-35=66 in the second round of the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open at Castle Stuart Golf Links.
His 36-hole total of 6-under 138 leaves him T4, 2 behind the leader Alex Noren. For much of the day, which began at the 10th, that straight driving kept him out of trouble, as he made consecutive birdies at 12 and 13, before adding eagle-birdie at 15 and 16. Another red number at No. 6 promised contention for the lead only for him to drop the only shot of the day at the very next hole. But he wasted no time getting it back with a second 2 of the week at No. 8. His 12th European Tour start in Scotland, he is yet to break the top 15 and has finished better than T40 only twice.

Jorge Campillo has two top 20s in four starts at Le Golf National and heads back this week to contest the 100th Open de France.

The Spaniard failed to cash on his first peek in 2012 but posted T18 the following year. After a missed cut in 2014 he produced his best so far to grab a share of 15th last year after closing with a 69. Campillo has enjoyed a solid run of results this season with six top 20s in 10 starts from January's Qatar Masters to May's BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. Two missed cuts on his most recent starts (Nordea Masters and BMW International Open) are a concern and it's fair to say that his inability to land the really big cheques (he has just one finish better than T10 this year) makes him a slight frustrating proposition for gamers and bettors.

Jorge Campillo rode a hot start and signed for a 5-under-par 31-36=67 on day two of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, the low round so far on Friday.

That's catapulted the Spaniard up 28 spots on the live leaderboard to solo fifth, four shots behind clubhouse leader Danny Willett. Campillo took advantage of the easier conditions on the front nine by circling birdies at 2, 3, 4 and 6 to turn in 4-under 31. He gave one back at the 10th but splashed further red at 12 and 15 before closing with a trio of pars to slot in at 6-under 138. He compiled his best score in five visits to Wentworth with 5-for-7 scrambling, splitting 9 (of 14) fairways and hitting 11 greens in regulation. After a double bogey-7 at the 17th in round one, he'll be delighted to be so close to the lead.

Jorge Campillo had to grind it in round two at the Hero Indian Open but he achieved it, posting 1-under-par 35-36=71 for a 7-under 137.

The round was good enough to leave him in a tie for 4th after the morning wave. He opened with 8 straight pars before circling red on the par-5s at 18 and 1, but he closed with a bogey on the 9th. His career boasts a couple of results that hint at his success so far this week: he was 2nd at the 2012 Avantha Masters, also in India, and was T3 in the 2015 Africa Open, played on the fast running East London course, not a million miles from the conditions at Delhi. The Spaniard is yet to win on the European Tour.

Jorge Campillo hung up a 6-under-par 33-33=66 in his opening round at the Hero Indian Open, good enough for a share of second place after day one.

The in-form Spaniard, who has posted T19 and T4 in the last two co-sanctioned events played in Asia, is just one behind leader Daniel Im after his afternoon lap of Delhi GC. Campillo opened with a birdie at the first and added another pair at 5 and 6. On the back nine he circled red at 10, 11 and 17. He could only find half of the 14 fairways today but hit 13 greens in regulation and took just 25 putts. This puts him in position to record a first European Tour win. Notably, one of his two second places came in India at the 2012 Avantha Masters.

Jorge Campillo has three top 20s in his last four European Tour starts and could be an outsider to look out for in the Hero Indian Open.

The Spaniard posted T19 in last week's True Thailand Classic and that came after a T4 at the Maybank Championship Malaysia. Two starts earlier he was T20 in the Qatar Masters. Add in his strong finish to 2015 and he has six top 20s in his last 10 starts so is in some of the most consistent form of his career. Adding to his credentials is a second place at the 2012 Avantha Masters which was also played in India. Campillo posted T52 in this event last year.

Jorge Campillo kept his hopes of a first European Tour win alive after posting a 2-under-par 35-34=69 in Saturday's third round at the Maybank Championship Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur.

A walk-off birdie at 18 saw the Spaniard park up at 10-under 203, four swings behind surprise leader Soomin Lee. Campillo has just three players above him on the leaderboard after a lap of Royal Selangor that featured four birdies against two bogeys. He shot his third round in the 60s thanks largely to a sharp short game. He piped just 7 (of 14) fairways and hit only 11 greens in regulation but the 29-year-old got up and down five times out of seven.

Jorge Campillo crashed a 2-under-par 35-34=69 for a halfway total of 8-under 134 at the Maybank Championship Malaysia.

The Spaniard made just one bogey in round one, but made three in his first eight holes on Friday, at 1, 6 and 8. But he added red at 2, 4 and 9 to make up for it. The turn gave him the chance to pull himself together and he did so, keeping bogeys off the card and notching birdies at 11 and 14 to join Danny Willett, Soomin Lee and Miguel Tabuena on 8-under in the clubhouse. It was a fighting round in which he hit only 4 of 14 fairway and was 0-for-4 in Scrambling.

Jorge Campillo sits in a tie for second spot after round one of the Maybank Championship Malaysia thanks to an opening 6-under-par 32-33=65.

Four birdies in his opening six holes thrust the Spaniard up the leaderboard and, despite a bogey at 17, he maintained his push with further par breakers at 18, 3 and 8. Campillo was T20 at the Qatar Masters two starts ago while he posted T12 in last month's South African Open so this is a continuation of that good form. His lowest round of the season so far puts the former Indiana University grad just a shot behind leader Nathan Holman. Campillo hit only 12 greens in regulation today but was hot on the greens, taking just 24 putts.

Jorge Campillo will play in his fifth straight Joburg Open at Royal Johannesburg & Kensington GC this week.

It took a while for the Spaniard to find his feet there after missed cuts in both 2012 and 2013 but the following year he shot all four rounds under par to post T16. He opened with a 66 in 2015 before settling for T32. He'll return there on the back of a heartening T12 in last week's BMW South African Open which represented a third top 20 from his last four worldwide starts.

Jorge Campillo has made the top 25 in both his starts at Glendower and returns again this year to contest the BMW South African Open.

The Spaniard took T25 last year and was also T22 on debut. Those results are part of an impressive run of results in South Africa which include a third place in last year's Africa Open and a T2 at the 2013 Nelson Mandela Championship. Former Indiana University grad Campillo had his best season in terms of earnings last year and also posted a career-high 74th on the Race to Dubai. He's made the top 100 for the last four years but, ahead of his 30th birthday this summer, will feel it's now time to kick on.

Jorge Campillo teed it up 31 times on last season's Race to Dubai but is back for more as the 2016 European Tour schedule begins in South Africa this week.

The Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek is the opening event once more and the Spaniard will try his luck again after cashing just once (T44 in 2013) in his three starts there. Campillo, who was 74th on the 2015 Race to Dubai, last teed it up at the Turkish Airlines Open four weeks ago and finished T20. Before that he was T6 in the Portugal Masters so he'll be hoping to carry that form over.

Jorge Campillo will hope to turn around his stuttering season in this week's Open d'Italia at Golf Club Milano.

The Spaniard is 77th on the Race To Dubai but has missed his last three cuts in Switzerland, Denmark and the Netherlands. The Indiana University grad doesn't look too far away though having shot a pair of 69s in last week's KLM Open which was just a single shot too many. He's 3-for-3 in this event while he was also runner-up in a Challenge Tour tournament in Italy in 2011.

Jorge Campillo played the last two holes in 3-under to set the clubhouse lead on the first morning of the BMW PGA Championship.

Playing in the first group of the day, the Spaniard posted a 4-under-par 33-35=68 over the West Coast at Wentworth. Campillo had traded three birdies against two bogeys through his first 16 holes but birdied the 17th and closed with an eagle-3 at the last to surge to the top of the leaderboard. The former Indiana standout split 12 (of 14) fairways and hit 14 greens in regulation. This is his first round in the 60s in nine laps of the course.

Jorge Campillo finished T25 in last week's Shenzhen International and will look for more success in the Volvo China Open.

The Spaniard has been a model of consistency on the European Tour this year, making 10 cuts in 11 starts. His best is a tied third in the Africa Open while another decent showing at Shenzhen secured a fourth top 25 and took him to 55th on the Race to Dubai. The Indiana University grad has struggled in this event with two missed cuts and a modest T64 last year but this will be his first look at Tomson Shanghai Pudong GC.
