Jorge Campillo

In this episode Craig is joined by 3x DP World Tour winner & winner of the Triple Crown at the University of Indiana, Jorge Campillo! We go through his time as an amateur participating in the Palmer Cup for Europe 3 consecutive years in 07, 08 + 09 even playing Dustin Johnson in the singles in 07. Jorge was also a participant in the 2008 Eisenhower Trophy with Team Spain. Jorge would turn professional in 2009 competing on the Challenge Tour from 2009-11 as well as a few limited European Tour starts. Jorge would finish 2nd twice at the Acaya Open + The Rolex Trophy to make it to the finals in San Domenico where a 6th place finish would put him into 9th overall to gain his European Tour card! Jorge would keep his card for the first 3 seasons then would play some super golf in 2016 to cement himself as a tour regular. In 2018 finishes of 2nd at Maybank in Malaysia, 4th in Oman, 3rd in China + 3rd in Ireland would fill Campillo's game with confidence before in 2019 at the 229th time of asking Jorge would gain an emotional victory at the Trophee Hassan II in Morocco to win his first European Tour title. Another 2 wins would come at the 2020 Qatar Masters (21 events after his first win) defeating David Drysdale in a thrilling play off with an unbelievable putting display then would win his 3rd DP World Tour title at Magical Kenya Open this year! A consistent & steady player that has now kept his card on the DP World Tour for 12 straight years deserves respect for that. Thank you Jorge! I hope you all enjoy!
