Who said it was an indifferent competition.

It was a great match full of stories. The competition, which almost lost its steam, ended beautifully with the best story.

Brian Campbell of the United States won the Mexican Open on the PGA Tour.




Campbell hit 1 under par in the fourth round of the tournament held in Bayarta, Bayarta, Mexico on the 24th (Korea time) and hit 20 under par in the final round of the fourth round. Campbell played an extended match against Aldrich Portgitter in South Africa, and birdied in the second extra period to grab $1.26 million in prize money.

The competition was held after the Genesis Invitational, a special competition, and few star players participated because it was held in Mexico, which is far away. However, fans were bound to be enthusiastic about the great match of players with unfamiliar names.

Campbell is mostly a player who played in the second wife Conferi Tour. Prior to this tournament, there were only 27 first-division tour matches. He was an unknown player who finished second five times without winning a championship in the Conferry Tour.




However, he had his first chance to win the first division at the Mexican Open. Of course, it wasn't easy. Heaven saved him. No, the tree helped Campbell. I hit a tee shot on the first extended par-5 18th hole, and it was sliced big. OB. In fact, his dream of winning his first championship seemed to fly away. However, Campbell's ball hit the top of the tree and fell into the rough inside the course. We've got through a big crisis.

This wasn't the end of it. Port Gitter, a 330-yard long hitter, hit a tee shot 94 yards away from Campbell. In a situation where Campbell had to use a three-on strategy unconditionally, the atmosphere could be completely tilted if the podkitter ordered two-on. However, Port Gitter's second shot fell into the bunker next to the green, and the atmosphere flowed strangely. Campbell calmly put his third shot on 1.2m by the hole. Port Gitter's bunker shot left the ball far away, and the match ended as Port Gitter's putter, which went ahead first, missed the hole.

On the unknown player's first win, his wife, who was watching on her knees, shared her joy in a fierce hug with Campbell. On top of that, Potter admitted defeat and added emotion with a nice look celebrating the winner.

Through this competition, he clearly imprinted his name on the fans with his cheerful long hit and manners. It was as valuable a runner-up as the winner.
