New father Rafael Campos emotional after first PGA Tour win - ESPN

SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda — Rafael Campos felt like he was living a fairy tale Sunday when he went from being on the verge of losing his PGA Tour card to winning the Bermuda Championship, just six days after his wife gave birth to their first child in time to let him play.

Campos drilled his approach to 2 feet for eagle on the par-5 seventh hole during a surge that carried him to a 3-under 68 for a three-shot victory, joining the late Chi Chi Rodriguez as the only players from Puerto Rico to win on the PGA Tour.

The 36-year-old Campos has never played in a major. Now he's going to the Masters. This was only his second full year on the PGA Tour. The win makes him exempt through 2026.

«I just can't believe this is actually happening to me,» Campos said through the sobs when he was interviewed on the 18th green after tapping in for par.

He won by three shots over Andrew Novak, who shot 71 for his best PGA Tour finish. Novak pulled within two shots when Campos missed an 18-inch par putt on the 14th par. Campos was not rattled, hitting all the right shots in a ferocious wind on the closing holes.

The tears began flowing moments after he tapped in for par and tried to grasp what happened.

Campos was No. 147 in the FedEx Cup with only two tournaments left, and he wasn't sure he could make it to Bermuda. He and wife decided to induce labor, and Paola Isabel was born Monday.

Coming off five straight missed cuts — Campos missed eight in a row earlier in the season — he made it to Bermuda in time and no longer felt the stress of being on outside of the top 125. Campos had said on Saturday the joy of their first child brought perspective and peace.

The result was the best performance in his 80th career start on the PGA Tour.
