‘Welcome to Colorado’: Pro gets nosebleed. Drains 50-foot birdie putt anyway
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Professional golfer Camilo Villegas is having quite the experience in Colorado, making a 50-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole at the Broadmoor while dealing with a bloody nose. Officials said the altitude is taking its toll on the South American competitor, with Villegas needing assistance more than once on the 16th hole. After blood began gushing from his nose, he went into the gallery to find some tissues and was able to return and sink the 50-foot putt just five minutes later.
