Camilo Villegas is a wily veteran who found a way to finish inside the top 10 at the American Express last week. The Colombian golfer turned an opening-round 72 into an incredible 62 on Friday. That helped Villegas immensely.

Straka, who didn't have a bogey in the tournament until Sunday's 16th hole, won for the third time on the PGA Tour and for the first time since the 2023 John Deere Classic.

Following a suspension of play at the Sony Open, Camilo Villegas sounded off on penalties needed for golfers playing too slowly.

Manuel Merizalde of Colombia already had five birdies in eight holes Thursday and rode that to a 6-under 66, giving him a three-way share of the lead after the opening round of the Latin America Amateur Championship.

Pace of play on the PGA Tour has been a hot-button topic, and Camilo Villegas is convinced the Tour can stamp it out in 2026.

Camilo Villegas started his competitive season at the 2025 Sony Open in Hawaii. Ahead of the event, he gave his opinion on one of the biggest issues marring golf at the moment: slow play.

Manuel Merizalde of Colombia is a 45-year-old who works for a security company and rarely plays golf more than once a week. Those low expectations might have helped him in the opening round of the Latin America Amateur Championship.

The five-time Tour-winner, who recently served on the Player Advisory Council, has a bold idea to eliminate slow play.

The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies’ Cogut Visiting Professor Camilo Umaña will give a talk on “Humanizing prisons. Practical lessons from Colombia’s policy making.”
