With a couple of hundred of thousand dollars on the line, Camilo Villegas felt some nerves at his first Skins Game. Coming off a top-10 finish at the US Open, Villegas made more than $200,000 on Tuesday to win the two-day World Skins Game. Villegas made a 4-foot birdie putt on the par-5 14th hole for $127,800, then added another $97,800 in a playoff. Villegas forced the closest-to-the pin playoff for the final four skins by matching Mike Weir's 10-foot birdie on the 18th hole. Weir was shut out in his first Skins Game in his home country in seven years. Fred Couples and Australia's Greg Norman were both closer, but their shots finished on the fringe just short of the green and didn't count. So when Colin Montgomerie's ball stopped a foot past Villegas', and Weir came up short of the green, Villegas had the title and over $226,000. Couples was third after adding $29,340 Monday to career skins earnings over $5 million. Scotland's Colin Montgomerie was also shut out for a second-straight year at the internationally flavored event.
