PGA.com says he's born in 1982. Which is it?

Pronounciation of his name section??

Apparently, this section is necessary. The man is not Spanish, but Colombian. Completely different country and continent. I have a family member who knows him personally and it is without question pronouced Bee-Jay-Gahss. Columbian pronouce their "l" as a "j" and do not pronounce the letter "v" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.243.74.131 (talk) 18:15, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This section is not really necessary. There is only one way to correctly pronounce his name, any Spanish-speaking person will know it: Ca(short a) - mill - o(short o) Vi(short i)- ye(short e) - gas —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.79.146.160 (talk) 04:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessary? Tell NBC that! They pronounce his name as Bee-Jay-Gus. I believe this is how Spaniards would pronounce it. However, he is Columbian, and many Spanish-related dialects pronounce the letters differently. I'm Filipino living in Hawaii, and my surname also starts with "Vill". But I pronounce my last name as "Vill" as in "Barber of Seville" Back to NBC, Dan Hicks is known to pronounce surnames of several people very strangely. For example, he's the only person I know of that pronounces Annika's surname as Soar-ren-stom. While others of the media, commercials and even herself pronounce it as Soar-en-stahm (ah is softer than o.) Remember, just because one culture pronounces a surname as one way does not mean it is pronounced the same away everywhere else in the world. Groink (talk) 21:24, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Groink, He is "Colombian" not "Columbian" 65.8.130.100 (talk) 04:48, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but the announcers in general don't speak Spanish well. If you're speaking Castillian Spanish, as you would in Spain, the "double l" sound is a 'Y', followed by the vowel (Vee-Yaa-Gas). Think about the word 'tortilla' for example, or 'Ballesteros', in keeping with the golf theme. If you're speaking South American Spanish, the "double l" sound takes on a consonant tone, like 'CH' (Vee-Chay-Gas). And if you're an announcer, you butcher it any way you want. I've been watching coverage of The Master's Tournament, and heard more than one talking head pronounce his first name incorrectly. It SHOULD be pronounced as it's spelled - Camilo. I've heard 'Camilla'.... I'm sure Prince Charles' wife would take umbrage at that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.223.108.102 (talk) 20:08, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
