Rafael Campos' Winning WITB | 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship
It was a week of firsts for Rafael Campos. The 36-year-old became a father earlier in the week as he and his wife welcomed their first child. To add to the emotional week, Campos who was in danger of losing his Tour Card, picked up his first career PGA Tour win with an impressive three-stroke victory at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
Campos is a Titleist staffer and plays Titleist completely through the bag with all of his clubs being current generation items.

Driver: Titleist GT2 (10 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana BB 63 X
Campos starts his bag off with the newest Titleist Driver, playing the GT2 at 10 degrees with a Mitsubishi Diamana BB 63 X shaft in it. He ranked in the upper third of every major driving category at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. He averaged 284.8 yards off the tee, which ranked as the 26th best driving distance of the week. While that number isn't staggering by any means, he did have the 14th longest drive of the week with a 338 yard bomb. He was also fairly accurate, hitting 34 of 56 fairways, with his 60.71 fairways hit percentage ranking 21st for the tournament.
3-wood: Titleist GT2 (13.5 degrees)
Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Blue 70 TX
Moving to his fairway woods, Campos stays with the GT2 model, though he plays it at 13.5 degrees, so playing with less loft than a traditional 3-wood. He plays his 3-wood with a Mitsubishi Tensei 1K Blue 70 TX shaft in it. This club was primarily in the bag for another option off the tee, and certainly played its part in his 284.8 yard driving average. The GT2 is the most forgiving model of the GT series and provides Campos with a fairway wood with some easier launch and MOI to use off the tee and into greens when needed.
Irons: Titleist U505 (2), Titleist T150 (4, 5), Titleist 620 MB (6-9)
Shafts: Project X HZRDUS Black 90 HY 6.5 (2), True Temper Dynamic Gold 120 X100 (4-9)
For his irons, Campos combos a pair of Titleist T150's with a U505 utility iron and some Titelist 620 MB's. While Campos ranked in the upper part of the tournament off the tee, he wasn't nearly as sharp with his iron play. He found just 48 of 72 greens in regulation, which was about middle of the pack, finishing in a tie for 49th place in that category. Though he didn't hit as many greens in regulation as others, he did give himself scoring opportunities when he did, tying for the 9th most birdies in the tournament with 21 and added 2 eagles to that as well.
Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM10 (46-10F, 50-12F @48-10, 54-12D, 60-10S)
Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold 120 X100
Campos goes with 4 Vokey SM10's for his wedges, using a 46-degree Vokey in place of a standard pitching wedge. While these clubs played their part in his approach game, and led to some scoring opportunities, they shined brightest around the green. Campos led the tournament in scrambling, getting up and down on 20 of the 24 greens he missed in regulation. That helped him limit himself to just 6 bogeys for the week, which was the 9th fewest among all players.
Finally, for his flat stick, Campos plays a Scotty Cameron TourType Timeless Buttonback Prototype. Like his wedges, this club was one of the MVP's of his victory. Not only did it help him convert that many up-and-down's for the week, but he also averaged 1.67 putts per GIR, which was tied for 7th best overall.
