Spain turned Anthony Campo's season from anonymous to memorable. The champion returned 78, his World Cup pool reached 147, and the card finished 3rd for 249 placement points.
Before that, Campo had lived around the middle with occasional bruises. Texas Tech helped NCAAF reach a tied 59th, and 7 correct March Madness picks lasted to Day 5 and a tied 66th; the NFL Playoffs fell to a tied 181st, and the NBA board stopped at a tied 176th.
Even 159th in Golf could not erase the World Cup strike. That one conviction preserved 1434.5 points and 70th, 13 places higher than before the close, and supplied the headline Campo's season had been missing.
