| Camilo “Spiderman” Villegas shot an opening-round 62 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open |
Villegas had clearly put behind him the missed 3-foot putt, against Paul Casey on Saturday in the semi-final, that cost him a spot in the final. He beat Sergio Garcia in the third-place match. The 28-year-old Columbian, a two-time winner on the PGA TOUR in 2008, had a rather disappointing 2009 season and credits his strong start in 2010 to a more relax approach to the game. “I was getting a little too concerned with my world ranking position and money list and this and that, and I just got a little tight on the golf course.” Villegas said. “ So I needed to put all those things aside and remember that I’m playing golf for a living, and there’s a million people out there that would love to be in my shoes, and have fun with it.” You and I can’t be there on the PGA TOUR, but we can join the fun with a few wagers on our favorite players at BetPhoenix.com Sportsbook. With that “enjoy the game” attitude, Villegas shrugged off last weekend’s disappointment and shot a mistake-free round in the Phoenix desert. Having started on the back nine, he finished by chipping in on the par-4 ninth for his ninth birdie and the Shot of the Day. Accenture Match Play champion Ian Poulter struggled to a 72. The Englishman was probably still hangover after the celebration that must have followed his first win on American soil. Every, who earned his PGA TOUR card by winning last year’s Nationwide Tour Championship, also had a bogey-free round for his 63 on a wide-open desert layout. He was coming off an unfortunate week at the Mayakoba Golf Classic in Cancun, where he signed an incorrect scorecard that had been kept by his lifelong golf hero and fellow ex-Gator Mark Calcavecchia in the third round and was disqualified. Every said he was so upset by his play that he signed his scorecard without even looking at it. “It’s 100 percent my fault, and he felt horrible, but it’s no way his fault,” said Every. “He’s still my favorite player and he was a blast to play with.” and “Just because I got DQ’d doesn’t mean I’m going to stop hitting it well.” To prove it, Every put together a string of six consecutive birdies starting on the 17th hole, the longest streak so far in the 2010 PGA TOUR season. Every and Villegas,two friends with a great attitude and a bright future on Tour. Justin Rose, Mark Wilson, Ryuji Imada, Pat Perez and rookie Rickie Fowler are T3, three strokes back at 65 in near-perfect conditions at TPC Scottsdale. Defending champion Kenny Perry and crowd-favorite Phil Mickelson finished T29 in large group at 3-under, six shots behind “Spiderman”. With an estimated crowd of 69,000 plus, the opening day went on relatively quietly, but that should change during the weekend, when 150,000 rowdy fans are expected for Saturday only.
