Camilo Villegas puts golf on the map in soccer mad Columbia

Nice little piece at PGATour.com by Craig Dolch. Dolch talks about Villegas’ ascent on the tour and points out that:

“Villegas realizes that soccer will always be the No. 1 sport in Colombia, but he’s doing his part to have his countryman start to play with a smaller ball.”

Dolch asks Villegas what is his favourite of all the questions asked of him by his fans:

“The kid looks at me he goes, ‘Camilo, how does it feel to be the second best player in the world?’ ” Villegas says, smiling. “And I’m like, ‘First of all, I don’t know if I’m the second best in the world, and I wonder who is the first?’ So I know exactly what the kid was thinking. It was pretty cool. I mean, the kid must have been 8, 9 years old. They are kids, man.”
