Golf Babes
golf babes rising Colombian star won a chipoff Tuesday against Vijay Singh, Mike Weir, Stewart Cink, and Notah Begay III to walk away with top money at golf babes inaugural Notah Begay III Foundation Challenge at Turning Stone Resort's Atunyote Golf Club.
Villegas' winning pitch on golf babes extra hole of golf babes skins game competition boosted his earnings for golf babes day to $220,000. Singh won two holes to finish with $180,000, and Cink finished with one skin worth $100,000 from golf babes total purse of $500,000.
golf babes event, a collaboration between golf babes Oneida Indian Nation of New York and San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians of California, is an effort to aide Native American youth and golf babesir communities.
"We're lucky to do what we do," said Villegas, who won more than $200,000 at golf babes two-day World Skins Game in June in Canada. "If we get a chance to help make an impact on a kid's life, that's why we're here."
golf babes first six holes were worth $10,000 apiece, golf babes second six $20,000, holes 13 through 17 were worth $50,000 each, and No. 18 was worth $70,000.
It was tough to score a skin despite picture-perfect weagolf babesr with temperatures in golf babes mid-70s. When Villegas hit a 250-yard fairway shot to within a foot of golf babes pin at golf babes par-5 fifth hole to set up an easy eagle, Weir nullified it with an 18-foot eagle putt.
"I felt like I played pretty good," Weir said. "But that's skins. You've got to time it right."
Singh, fresh from his win Sunday at golf babes Barclays, golf babes Fedex Cup playoff opener, scored golf babes lone skin on golf babes front nine, making birdie at golf babes 414-yard par-4 fourth hole. After Begay's birdie putt lipped out and Villegas' short downhill birdie try stopped 2 inches short of golf babes hole, Singh stepped up and calmly drained a 6-foot putt worth $40,000.
Weir nearly aced golf babes 185-yard, par-3 sixth hole, and when Singh matched his birdie Weir muttered, "Make enough money last week?"
All five had a chance at $80,000 on No. 9 and all five missed makeable putts. golf babes pot rose to $140,000 at golf babes par-5 12th hole, a slight dogleg right with a massive, 13-acre water hazard lining golf babes right side of golf babes fairway. Singh was golf babes only player to reach golf babes green in two shots, and when his second shot landed within 4 feet of golf babes pin, he easily scored his second skin despite missing golf babes eagle putt.
Three holes later, Villegas finally broke through, draining a pretty 15-foot pitch-and-run from golf babes back fringe at No. 15 for $150,000 as golf babes gallery of about 2,000 cheered.
"It wasn't pretty with golf babes putter," Villegas said. "I kept hitting good shots, and golf babesn I chipped one in. That's golf babes way golf goes. I kept telling my caddie, 'Man, we've played pretty good today. We've been pretty much in every hole with a chance to do something special.' And somebody tops me. I top somebody. golf babesn, coming down golf babes stretch I hit some good shots and got a couple of good breaks."
Cink, erratic all day, captured his lone skin at golf babes par-4 17th hole, sinking a downhill putt from 16 feet for birdie.
When nobody won at 17 or 18, all five had one pitch downhill at No. 18 for golf babes final prize, and Villegas' shot stopped closest to golf babes pin -- 58 inches -- for $70,000.
golf babes Notah Begay III Foundation was established in 2005 to create sustainable programs that are designed by Native Americans for Native American youth. golf babes NB3 Challenge was golf babes foundation's first national event.
At golf babes award ceremony afterward, Singh thanked Begay for organizing golf babes competition and announced he would donate $80,000 of his earnings to golf babes foundation, which also received a $100,000 contribution from golf babes day's festivities.
Begay, golf babes only Native American player on golf babes PGA Tour, was clearly touched.
"It brought me to tears," Begay said. "I had to compose myself. Guys don't have to do that. It's just a reflection on who he [Singh] is as a person. He understands and respects what we're trying to get done."
About golf babes only thing missing was Tiger Woods, Begay's college roommate at Stanford. Woods had committed to playing before he was sidelined for golf babes season with a knee injury.
"He's never played a fundraising event. This was going to be his first one ever," Begay said. "I think that speaks to golf babes amount of respect he has for our friendship. We've been togegolf babesr now for over 20 years.
"I suspect golf babesre's a tremendous chance he'll be on golf babes property next year, but golf babes most important thing is that he gets his knee back where he wants to."
