The PGA Tour announced Monday that Camilo Villegas 22-month-old child has actually passed away after doctors found growths on her brain and spine.
Last month, before the Korn Ferry Tour restarted at TPC Sawgrass, Villegas exposed that his only child, Mia, was going through treatment. He stated he saw in late February that she was acting differently, and scans revealed that growths had actually begun to form on her brain and spinal column. She was being treated at the Nicklaus Childrens Hospital in Miami.
” The PGA Tour is deeply saddened having actually lost a member of our family, Mia Villegas,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a declaration. “We grieve with Camilo and Maria and our prayers and thoughts are with the Villegas family.”
Motivated by his family, Villegas played the Korn Ferry Tour occasion and contended early in the week prior to eventually completing in a tie for 33rd. Its been his only start over the past couple of months.
When Villegas talked to the media last month, he stated that Mia was in her 2nd round of chemotherapy which medical professionals need to know more about her prognosis in the next month or 2.
” Hopefully its just a bump in the road for her, and for us,” he said, “and well be commemorating that day that shes clean.”.
