Column: Camilo Villegas’s comeback was sparked by a caddie who loves to coach

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:36:30 GMT

The road back for Camilo Villegas began with a detour to San Diego and a question to a caddie who wasn’t even his: “When are you going to help me?”Villegas started what figured to be a challenging year in the Bahamas on the Korn Ferry Tour, and he meant to stay for a second tournament in the islands until he received a last-minute sponsor exemption to the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.That’s where he had a chance meeting with an Argentine caddie who is more than what he seems. For Villegas, a 41-year-old Colombian, it changed the course of his year.Jose Luis Campra — his friends call him “Pepa” — grew up at the same course in Cordoba that produced Angel Cabrera and Eduardo Romero. He had aspirations of playing after getting a finance degree from Jacksonville State in Alabama. But then a few fruitless years on the Challenge Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica suggested he take a different path.He always wanted to teach. Caddying helps pay the bills.Campra runs an aca...

Broncos beat Bills in New York for first time in 16 years

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:36:30 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — They say good things happen in threes. Just ask the Denver Broncos who are now riding a season-saving three-game winning streak.With a record of 4-5, there is now a path back to relevance. This is the first three-game winning streak since the beginning of the 2021 season under head coach Vic Fangio. Flash forward three seasons, and now under the visor of head coach Sean Payton, there is still room for improvement.“We are by no means at our sweet spot,” said Payton as the Broncos corralled the Bills 24-22 Monday night, breaking their 16-year losing streak in Buffalo, New York. “There’s so many things we’ve got to clean up offensively.” Broncos coach Sean Payton is the NFL’s admittedly absent-minded perfectionist, sentimentalist Led by an efficient and time-consuming offense, quarterback Russell Wilson’s two touchdown passes (18) now eclipse his 2022 season total (160). And on the defensive side, it’s been a complete turnaround since allowing 70 points in Miami. In t...
