Rafael Campos

Rafael Campos had his best season as a pro in 2015, the San Juan native collecting two runner-up finishes and five top-10s on PGA TOUR Latinamérica to finish third on the Order of Merit and join “Los Cinco” to graduate to the Web.com Tour. A trip to Web.com Tour Q-School’s final stage and a T34 finish allowed him to improve his status for 2016. A golfer since he was 9 years old, Rafael Campos was proving himself in Puerto Rico while still a teenager, capturing the U.S. territory’s amateur championship four straight years (2007-2010).

More on Rafael Campos

Because of his skill and showmanship, World Golf Hall of Fame member Chi Chi Rodriguez stands apart as the greatest Puerto Rican golfer ever. It’s an extremely high bar for any of Rodriguez’s countrymen to shoot for, but Rafael Campos is showing that he has plenty of potential. The 2016 Puerto Rico Open at Coco Beach offers one example of Rafael Campos’ considerable talent. Playing in the PGA TOUR event on home soil for the ninth time, Rafael Campos shot an opening 64 and maintained the lead through 36 holes. The 2010 graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University cooled off over the weekend but finished T8, which got him a spot in the following week’s tournament, the Shell Houston Open. Campos made the cut there, too, finishing T38.
