Who should the speed? In Bomber’s Paradise, Brian Campbell stands out in Mexico Open victory

Vidantaworld is marked with a bombing. Appearance PAR-71 measures 7,436 meters with two pairs 5-5 over 600 meters. Jake Knapp, Tony Finau and Jon Rahm won Mexico opens here.

So there was a little surprise that young Oppenheimer PGA tour, 22-year-old Aldrich Potgieter, was one of the two players who left to arrive on Sunday evening playoff of sudden death. The Potgieter leads tour within ride (328.7 meters), ball speed (190.78 mph) and speed clubhead (125.75).

And another guy? Complete opposite.

Brian Campbell is the last to tour in a distance from driving (262 yards) – for over 15 meters. Its average ball (160.93 mph) and Clubhead speed (108.22 mph) are almost a tour of the worst numbers. He is an anti-pavieter, and on paper was one of the least likely candidates this week in Vidantaworld.

Fortunately for Campbell, tourism events are not beaten on paper.

This – 34-year-old Campbell’s first from his tour – he won the world-class short games, clutch reproduction and one of the happiest bouncing you will ever see.

Oh, and another thing.

“Grit,” Campbell said, obviously in the loss for words. “I can’t believe it.”

Treems earlier, in the second hole for playoffs, Campbell inserted his ride in the PAR-5 18 hole. As he only made 164 mph, and a stimulus in a hole of 30 mph. Campbell’s ball looked intended for the forest – and out of bounds – but it was until there was the ball again. From which he is still unknown.

“I mean, I’ll take that,” Campbell said with laughter.

Campbell, only 227 meters from Tira, set up 3-wood at 68 meters. From there is his great Gamara Klina, as Campbell scored one within 4 meters, closer to the potpieter who bombed his drive 321 yards before he found a front bunker with his second.

“You have to believe as much as you can,” Campbell said about his game. “It’s impressive how many of these guys hit here, and I just don’t do it. I have to take my game elsewhere.”

Potgieter, Anti-Campbell, fought around green all day while overcoming the even-pair 71. The first short game of Potgieter, because it is bad chips and bundle of Nadbank Challenge and PGA insurance farmers tours opened the last months. Seventy-seven players accelerated it on Sunday, and all but one gained more strokes around the green than the Potgieter, who lost almost two and a half.

Potgieter’s troubles began in the sixth para-5, where he left 38 meters from 60 meters, and in the end he made a couple. Flimed the chip on a couple-4 eighth and ran, before he did similarly on a couple-3 ninth. The sinking 20-footer to kick him out on a couple-4, but the Potgieter was not so lucky in a par-4, who kicked her after he left the chip of short green.

Potgieter for birds 18 in regulation to be transcribed by disappointing even a couple 71 and join Campbell (70) in 20 in spite, and hydro ethics (67) and Ben Griffin (67) and Ben Griffina (67) and Ben Griffina (67) and Ben Griffin (67) and Ben Griffin (67) and Ben Griffin (67) And Ben Griffin (67) and Ben Griffin (67) and Ben Griffin (67) and Ben Griffin (67) and Ben Griffin (67) and Ben Griffin (67) and Ben Griffin (67) ) I Ben Griffin (67) and Ben Griffin (67) and Ben Griffin (67) and Ben Griffin 67). But the Potgieter could finish the final growth twice in overtime; He missed with 6 feet to set the stage for Wacpbell’s winning bird.

Campbell made only 28 years in his turbine career, although he left almost seven years between the beginning no. 23 and 24. Campbell was Stomaktout in Illinois, where he won four times, including the two NCA regions. His main coach Mike called him a big game hunter, recalling closing 63 that Campbell shot at the NCAA championship for 2014. year to send Illini to Prairie Dines. Campbell also played in us backwards, she opens like an amateur, the latter starts coming in 2015. in Bay Bay, where Campbell was a low amateur.

But by graduation from Korn Ferry Tour and arrives at the PGA tour as Rookie for the season 2016-17, Campbell saw his fortune flip; In 20 they start missing 13 cuts and only read a pair of top-25 endings, although it is not the worst part. Campbell and his partner Miguel Angel Carballo punished the show in Zurich in 2017. years in what is still the last penalty on tour.

A few years after that, Campbell lost his Korn Ferry Tour card and then failed to pass by the second phase of the Q-school in 2021. years.

Three runners-ups and T-3 last year on Korn Ferry Tour gained Campbell his return ticket on tour. He also qualified for last summer and opened for 56. at the first main start of the chamber.

Now it is opened still the only main Campbell, although it was soon changed. Thanks to the Sunday victory, he is in the first first player, as well as the first first championship, as well as the first first championship of the player and the rest of this year’s signature event, starting from Arnold Palmer in two weeks.
