He started slow with a bogey on No. 4 and was 1-over stepping up to the drive on No. 6, which is when he made his move.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-4\">\n<p>A three-shot birdie on the par-4 gave him momentum, which he parlayed into an eagle on the par-5 seventh.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-5\">\n<p>Shaking off another bogey on No. 9, Campos quickly sank back-to-back birdies on the next two holes, putting him at 3-under with seven holes to play.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><\/p>\n<section id=\"section-6\">\n<p>Saturday&#8217;s other co-leader, Andrew Novak. had a similar slow start, and while he applied some pressure with back-to-back birdies on Nos. 7 and 8, a bogey on 11 put him at even-par 71 for the day, three strokes behind Campos.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-7\">\n<p>Justin Lower, who entered the day a stroke back, fell off the pace, carding bogeys on 14 and 15 to fall to 1 over, taking him out of the running as he finished the round with a 72.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-8\">\n<p>From there, Campos did exactly what he need to do, shaking off his final bogey on 14 to sink a birdie on 17, setting up a two-stroke lead on Novak going into the final hole.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-9\">\n<p>Any hopes of a playoff were quickly dashed, as Novak&#8217;s first shot sailed into the rough and his second went into the bunker. He ended up with a bogey on the par-4 No. 18. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-10\">\n<p>Campos calmly hit for par to sew up his first career win on the same week his wife gave birth to the couple&#8217;s daughter.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-11\">\n<p>&#8211;Field Level Media<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/deadspin.com\/rafael-campos-prevails-at-bermuda-for-first-pga-win\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apr 27, 2024; Avondale, Louisiana, USA; Rafael Campos looks on from the tenth fairway during the third round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":87318,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87317\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neclink.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
