Camilo Villegas smoothed a 4-under-par 31-35=66 in his opening round of The McGladrey Classic.
He failed to get up and in both times he missed a green in regulation today, but the Colombian picked off six birdies at Seaside to finish just three strokes behind the twosome in the clubhouse with the lead. Villegas' longest conversion measured 21'9" at the par-4 10th hole, his first of the round. He tied for 20th in his debut at the tournament last year. Nov 7 - 2:37 PM

Camilo Villegas answered his opening 68 at the Frys.com Open with a 5-under-par 33-33=66 to post 8-under 134, good for early possession of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

The Colombian hits 16 greens in regulation and buried six birdies for the second straight round, but he limited today's damage to a lone bogey-5 at the 17th hole where he drove into a hazard. The most impressive of his par breakers was his first. After his tee ball came up short of the green at the par-3 11th, he chipped in from the rough 22 yards away. All of his remaining birdies came conventionally, but four of them measured at least 10 feet. Of that set, the longest was his last, dropping in from 23'2" at the par-4 eighth.

Camilo Villegas poured in six birdies en route to a 3-under-par 33-35=68 in his opening round of the Frys.com Open.

Given that he stood over 16 opportunities to record a par breaker and absorbed a three-putt bogey (from 63'7" at the sixth hole) and a double bogey-5 at 11, this was about as high a score that he was going to submit. Among his set of six birdies were conversions from 29'6", 20 feet and 31 feet at Nos. 2, 4 and 12, respectively. He signed his card sitting four strokes off the clubhouse lead.

Camilo Villegas posted a final-round 5-over-par 40-36=76 at The Barclays, but it was enough to move him from 110th to 100th in the FedExCup standings and he will advance to TPC Boston for the Deutsche Bank.

Villegas thought he came up just shy, but a gruesome finish by Aaron Baddeley floated him up to 100th. Badds bogeyed each of his last three holes, missing a short par attempt on the 18th, to hand Villegas his invitation to the second stage of the FEC Playoffs.

Camilo Villegas opened The Barclays with a 6-under-par 31-34=65, finishing one stroke off the clubhouse lead.

Villegas has been a periodic presence on conditional status this season, but he still has work to do at 110th in FedExCup points. He hit 14 greens and converted on eight of his chances, including attempts from 22'11" and 10'6" at the third and ninth holes, respectively. He connected bogeys coming home, the first as a result of a whiffed par save from 46 inches at the par-3 14th hole.

Camilo Villegas returns to Liberty National Golf Club for The Barclays.

Villegas missed the cut in his trip to Liberty National in 2009, and must fare better than that if he hopes to advance to the second stage of the FedExCup Playoffs. He enters the week 110th in the standings, but must crack the top 100 to earn a tee time at TPC Boston next week.

Camilo Villegas lit up Glen Abbey Golf Club for a bogey-free, 7-under-par 35-30=65 in his second round of the RBC Canadian Open.

He needed something special after opening with a 74 on Thursday afternoon. Flashing vintage form today, Villegas split only five (of 14) fairways but created 15 opportunities to break par. He did so six times. In addition to converting an eagle from 12 feet at the par-5 16th hole, he poured in five birdies, four of which ranging from 10 to 19 feet. The Colombian reached the midpoint in 5-under 139, six strokes off the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Camilo Villegas blistered TPC Deere Run for eight birdies en route to a 7-under-par 33-31=64 in his opening round of the John Deere Classic and finished with a share of the clubhouse lead.

He's flashed form over and again throughout the season but he arrived in the Quad Cities ranked just 102nd in FedExCup points. In fact, the last time he opened with a 64, he led The Honda Classic only to chase it with a 77 and miss the cut. Today at TPC Deere Run, he hit 15 greens and signed his card leading the field in strokes gained-putting with a clip north of a gaudy 4.125. Five of his birdies disappeared from outside 12 feet. The most notable measured 20'1" at the fourth hole and 21'9" at 11. Villegas suffered his only bogey of the day at the par-4 ninth where he missed the green well right and failed to convert his eventual par attempt from just outside 30 feet.

Camilo Villegas carded a 5-under-par 34-31=65 in his opening round of the Travelers Championship, finishing three strokes off the clubhouse lead.

The Colombian had last week off following a T10 in Memphis. He regained form this year, evidenced by the fact that he's currently 104th in FedExCup points. Villegas hit 12 greens at TPC River Highlands today and wiped off one bogey with six birdies. His most notable par breaker dropped in from 24'2" at the par-4 ninth hole, his last of the loop. After finding water off the tee at the drivable par-4 15th, he'd eventually hole a 13'1" par save.

Camilo Villegas posted his fourth round in the 60s this week at the FedEx St. Jude Classic, turning in a 1-under-par 32-37=69.

Villegas began the year without full status, but his play to this point has him projected safely inside the top 125 for a date in the FedExCup Playoffs and fully-exempt status for the PGA TOUR in 2013-14. Had he not suffered a double bogey at the par-4 12th and a bogey at the par-3 14th down the stretch, he may have very well locked that up at TPC Southwind. As it stands, he finishes the week at 5-under 69-68-69-69=275.

Camilo Villegas posted a 5-under-par 34-31=65 in his opening round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship.

The Colombian has grinded out a decent season despite conditional status. He's just 4-for-10 entering the week, but that slate includes three top 20s. He's 136th in FedExCup points. Villegas went 0-for-3 in scrambling at TPC Four Seasons today, but offset two bogeys and a double with seven birdies and an eagle hole-out from 95 yards at the par-5 16th. Three of his birdies fell in from 11 feet and beyond, the longest measuring 23'7" at 13. The last time he opened this low was at The Honda Classic, but he chased a first-round 64 with a 77 to miss the cut.

Camilo Villegas settled for a 3-over-par 36-38=74 in the final round of the RBC Heritage, but it was good enough to share ninth place at 3-under 281.

Villegas managed to navigate a breezy Hilton Head Island by going out with a birdie, a bogey and seven pars. Things got dicey after the turn. He answered bogeys on 10 and 11 with birdies on 12 and 13, but a double bogey on the par-3 14th and a bogey on the par-5 15th wouldn't be erased. The Colombian on conditional status hadn't logged a top 10 on the PGA TOUR since the 2011 BMW Championship (T6). He'll be looking to continue his solid trend at this week's Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Camilo Villegas spun a 3-under-par 34-34=68 in the third round of the RBC Heritage and enters the final round at 6-under 207.

Villegas' day included five birdies to just two bogeys, with three of his birdies dropping from 15 feet or longer. Playing on a sponsor exemption and with only conditional status, this could prove to be a huge week should he finish strong. His best finish this year was a T16 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and he is currently tracking to better that at Harbour Town.

Camilo Villegas turned in a bogey-free, 3-under-par 33-35=68 for his opening round of the RBC Heritage and sits three strokes off the clubhouse lead.

The Colombian hit only 10 greens in regulation at Harbour Town today, but his scrambling ability protected his scorecard. His most notable conversion of the round was a par save that dropped from 11'2" at the par-3 14th hole.
