Better young star-Camillo or AK?

[Fahmie25]

I personally love Camillo, for reasons unbeknown to me, but i also just get frustrated by AK's cocky side. The belt has got to go...

Thoughts?

I think AK is more grounded than Camillo.

Who cares if he wears a belt buckle? I've seen them both on some GC shows and they come off as pretty nice guys. Kim has admitted he's adjusted the way he handles himself a bit, and Villegas has never really come across as cocky. I personally think they are both tremendously talented, but would give Villegas the edge right now, I think he'll have a consistently better year this year week in and week out on all types of courses.

I really like Anthonys attitude, the way he was(maybe acting) on tee it up with Tiger. I like the way he also seems humble when it comes to the game of golf and how he learned. Sometimes the broadcasters on tv make it out like Camillo is out there playing golf and taking everyones wife or girl friend in the gallery home with him. I must say I like the way they both play the shot, if it's good they get a happy grin, or swagger, but if it's a bad shot it's ok no biggie, I'll just make the next one better., maybe I will try and use that attitude myself, it was good ok, bad shot , no big deal, next one will be better.

As a massive fan of both I find it difficult to split the pair each week.
Anthony has the incredible ability to come up with jaw-dropping shots out of nowhere-his second to the par 5 18th at the Mercedes Benz a good example.
Camilo is a more consistently good less tempermental player.
As regards who is going to win more tournaments this year I would have to go for Camilo but on raw natural ability its AK.

Btw I don't think the belt-buckle is a problem.Golfers need to have a bit of individuality

Agreed....

Both are great. Obviously, Camillo won two playoff events which some may consider bigger tournaments than the Verizon and the Wachovia of Kim. However, both are long hitters, have game, and are mentally tough.

I personally like Kim's little cockyness. It brings a bit of energy to the game. Think back, we havent had this kind of "personality" i.e. w/ Kim, Boo, Camillo, JB, Scott etc. in a long time.

I totally agree. He doesnt seem to boast, he's says, "I just try to hit the middle of the fairway".

I really like his honesty.

This is really tough from a woman's perspective (yes, boys...there are a few of us who lurk here ;)).

Camilo is every women's xxx dream! I just love watching him play, talk, walk and line up a putt. And he is fulfulling all those dreams on this week's Buick Invitational. Wow!

Now...Anthony Kim is someone you want to "mother". Yikes, I expect that's not what he wants to hear, but those are the facts boys. I just love him, but more as my long long son, not as the hottest thing that has hit the links.

Both are amazing golfers and will do very well in their careers. And both have great belt buckles ;)

But in the end, Camilo is the new Garcia and he's is so hot, I'm having trouble touching my keyboard. hot hot hot...

Now...maybe now is the time to move this to the women's segment in this forum ;)

You bring up a very good point, Camillo also possesses a very large belt buckle of a bull.

By the way, the new Golf Digest (March) has a very good article on Anthony Kim.

....walk and line up a putt....

To bad Annika couldnt have got down to line up her puts like that..

[bogeyhitter25]

It's really a toss-up, they're both amazing players, and they're both going to get multiple major wins. I'll take AK since he used to use my driver.

I am thinking that AK will win first after watching Camilo this past weekend. I don't think Camilo's swing is good enough nor do I think his putting is there yet. AK seems to have a much better overall game.

I agree....I think he just got, 1.)the luck of the draw getting the south course Thurs. 2.)a lot of lucky rolls in the first two rounds. He seems not to perform well under pressure or otherwise pleasant conditions.

If winning 2 playoff events isn't pressure I don't know what is. I am assuming you don't remember his drive on the 18th while leading last year. AK won regular nobody cares tournaments. I agree Camilo didn't play his best yesterday but you CAN'T win every time. Watney won because he rolled one in from like 100ft. Camilo had about 5 of those but they didn't want to go in.

Anyways, I expect both Camilo and AK to win a couple this year too.

If you look at AK's swing versus Villegas, I think AK is much more fundamentally sound. I also think that they hype component will catch up to Villegas too. His notoriety for his "spiderman" way of looking at putts and his bad dress will keep him in the spotlight for a while but I think AK has way more game in the long run.

Villegas was also the guy that the other pros voted most over hyped.
