Camilo wins Tour Championship; Vijay wraps up FedEx Cup

Filed under: PGA / LPGA Tour — Joey @ 7:21 pm

Camilo Villegas won an exciting Tour Championship over Sergio Garcia on the first playoff hole. Phil Mickelson and Anthony Kim just missed birdie putts to join the playoff.

Vijay, of course, won the FedEx Cup, posting any score got it done, and he did. Camilo finished second in the FedEx Cup, followed by Sergio Garcia and Anthony Kim. Phil Mickelson finished sixth.

More at Villegas makes it two in a row at Tour Championship.

Too far behind to do anything about the FedEx Cup, Camilo Villegas put together a stirring rally Sunday that was good enough to win the Tour Championship in a playoff over Sergio Garcia for his second straight victory.

Villegas overcame a five-shot deficit by making six birdies over his last 11 holes for a 4-under 66, then beat Garcia with a par on the 233-yard 18th hole used in the playoff.

The 26-year-old Colombian, who had gone 85 starts on the PGA Tour without winning, picked up his second in a row with a finish that brought the gallery to life on a sunny afternoon at East Lake.
