Villegas earns more than $200K to win two-day event
VERNON, British Columbia -- With a couple hundred thousand dollars on the line, Camilo Villegas felt some nerves at his first Skins Game.
Coming off a top-10 finish at the U.S. Open, Villegas made more than $200,000 on Tuesday to win the two-day World Skins Game.
Villegas made a four-foot birdie putt on the par-5 14th hole for $127,800 and then added another $97,800 in a playoff.
"I actually was [nervous] with that short putt on the par-5, but it was good," said Villegas, whose tie for ninth at Torrey Pines was his best finish in a major. "It's good to feel the nerves, a little shaking, and why not? Just test yourself."
Villegas forced the closest-to-the pin playoff for the final four skins by matching Mike Weir's 10-foot birdie on the 18th hole.
