Talk about a fairy tale week! Rafael Campos became a dad and a PGA winner in just the last seven days. Snagging his first PGA TOUR victory at the 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship. The new dad traded midnight feedings for fairway findings, finishing at a stellar 19-under par, three shots clear of Andrew Novak.

For Campos, this wasn't just any win - it was a "from-zero-to-hero" moment. Sitting at 147th in the FedExCup standings (a position about as comfortable as a golf cart with square wheels), he was staring down the barrel of losing his TOUR card. But apparently, nothing motivates a golfer quite like a newborn's sleep schedule!

The final round had more drama than a country club committee meeting. Justin Lower made an early run, but Campos channeled his inner superhero with an eagle on the par-5 seventh. Even a comedic moment with a missed 18-inch putt on the 14th (shorter than his newborn's first onesie) couldn't derail his destiny.

The 36-year-old Puerto Rican joins the legendary Chi Chi Rodriguez as the only Puerto Rican players to win on the PGA TOUR, and now he's headed to the Masters, PGA Championship, and THE PLAYERS Championship. Not bad for a guy who probably still has baby powder on his golf glove!
