Campos takes Bermuda Championship for 1st TOUR win

Campos is the first Puerto Rican to pick up a win on the PGA TOUR since Chi Chi Rodriguez.

It's been a whirlwind week for Campos, whose wife gave birth to their first child on Monday. He's never taken part in a major before but will now get to play at the Masters, according to The Associated Press' Doug Ferguson.
The 36-year-old missed 13 of his last 15 cuts prior to Sunday's victory and started the week 147th in the FedEx Cup standings.
"Best week of my life," an emotional Campos said. "After such a bad year, to have things kind of go my way, everything together at once, I'm just so happy and grateful to have the support I do. ... I just can't believe this is actually happening to me."
He added: "I'm just grateful to be able to call myself a PGA TOUR champion. It's something I've dreamt about all my life. I just can't wait to call my family."
Campos and Novak entered Sunday's action tied for the lead, but Campos pulled ahead with four birdies - including one on the 17th - and an eagle. Novak faltered with a pair of bogeys on the back nine.
