It was only fitting that Brian Campbell returned and gave toast to the tree that helped him win the Mexico Open on Sunday.

The PGA Tour moved south for its annual stop at the Mexico Open, offering a $7 million purse with $1.26 million to the winner. In a playoff of contrasts featuring the Tour’s biggest hitter in 20-year-old Aldrich Potgieter and shortest hitter in 31-year-old Brian Campbell, the veteran won on the second playoff hole.

Brian Campbell came into the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld having made just 10 cuts in 27 events, with no top-10 finishes. Still, Campbell was matter-of-fact when asked after the third round what a win would mean.
