Villegas' uncle killed during robbery - 10/18/2008
By Associated Press

BOGOTA, Colombia – The uncle of golfer Camilo Villegas was shot and killed Saturday after thieves tried to rob his business.

Ernesto Villegas Zuluaga, 56, was killed when two armed men entered his coffee trading enterprise demanding money and he jumped on one of them, according to senior Caldas state official Henry Murillo.

Relatives say Camilo Villegas is flying home to Colombia for the burial of his uncle, who was also his godfather.

Camilo Villegas became the first Colombian to win a PGA Tour event when he captured the BMW Championship in September. He also won the Tour Championship and finished runner-up in the Tour Playoffs.



I am sorry this happened, I thought he was right on the cusp of greatness. I hope he and his family can overcome this tragedy.
