Known as much for his tight trousers and the screaming women who follow him as for his golf, Camilo Villegas was selected as one of People Magazine's ‘Hottest Bachelors’ in 2006. But actually, he can play golf as well – and is one of the biggest hitters on the US Tour – averaging 302 yards off the tee in 2006. Born in Columbia, he attended the University of Florida and joined the Tour in 2006 – and had a great start with several top 5 finishes. After a quiet start in 2007 on his second year on Tour he tied first at the Honda Classic but lost in a four-way play-off with Mark Wilson, Jose Coceres and Boo Weekley. Has a very odd putting routine which involves crouching on the green with his left leg extended to get a better view of the line. This strange posture has resulted within him being given the nickname ‘Hombre Araña’ – or Spiderman. |
