Q. When you were in contention back here in 2023 and you went on the next week to win at Bermuda, what do you remember from your week here?

CAMILO VILLEGAS: A lot of good things. I hit some great shots. It was nice and windy and it was like great energy and I was behind the eight‑ball. I came here, I played great. It was Erik van Rooyen's week after a very special Sunday for him, it was meant to be, and then it was meant to be the following week for me. It was beautiful to be able to look up in the sky and think about Mia in Bermuda, but it all started here so this is a special place. World Wide Technology puts a great tournament. I really enjoy what they do this week and it's an honor to be here.

Q. What would a similar run this month mean to you?

CAMILO VILLEGAS: Yeah, a much needed one, I guess. It's been a rough year. A lot of kind of mixed opinions and stuff in my mind what's going on, what's coming up, et cetera, et cetera. But at the end of the day it's golf, so you've just got to show up tomorrow, keep making swings, keep putting the ball in play and give yourself a chance.

Q. A little bit random. We had Nick Dunlap here earlier and he mentioned on the range last week he used your driver. How did that come about?

CAMILO VILLEGAS: Well, Nick was struggling hitting some drivers on the range last week and it was crazy hot. I think it was Sunday, we were both there sweating like crazy.

He said, Can I hit your driver? Mine is really stiff. It's funny, I said, Let me hit yours, and as I hit one ball with his driver and as I'm going up, it felt so light and stiff. I said, man, what's going on with that shaft?

I guess he came here and found a new shaft. I asked him earlier this week how it was going. He said he drove it beautiful yesterday and obviously he must have drove it beautiful today. So good for him, sometimes things like that happen.

Q. Do you have any other advice for like maybe a younger player where kind of having the ups and downs, do you give them any advice?

CAMILO VILLEGAS: Well, after so many years up here with the ups and downs, I think I do. I think I could write a book on advice for all those young kids.

But the cool thing about those young kids is they seem to come ready, ready to go, ready to play than probably when I came out. That PGA Tour University is giving them a great opportunity to test themselves against the best out here and you're seeing, you're seeing great results from the program, so we've got to continue to support those guys.

And they'll learn. There's plenty of things that happen out here. Sometimes unfortunately they learn from mistakes and losses and everything. But they're good, man. Those young kids are good these days.

Q. What model driver was it? What's your driver that he tried?

CAMILO VILLEGAS: I play a Titleist. I play about a D4, D4 and a half. I don't even recall what he had, maybe a Ping, but he had changed the shaft last week and it was pretty short, tipped a lot.

And I made a swing. I remember the first swing, I'm up here, I said, whoa, this is light, felt light, and I was surprised to see him playing such a light driver. So yeah, good for him.

Q. Did you feel like you found something at the range last week that same day?

CAMILO VILLEGAS: Holy crap, last week was tough. You know what, it's been a year of trying stuff. I was very happy to have Jose Campra on the bag last week. He's caddied for me before, he's a good friend and he decided to come here and support me for two weeks. Last week we started doing little changes and obviously change is tough. I think what we worked on the last day a few days, we grinded on Saturday and Sunday there in Vidanta and I definitely hit the ball a lot better today. It wasn't perfect, but it was better.
