PGA Tour news update 1/23

Wilson holds his nerve

Late flourish sees 37-year-old claim fifth PGA Tour title

Mark Wilson overcame a nervy start at the Humana Challenge to secure his fifth PGA Tour title.



Wilson must have feared the worst as his three-shot lead from overnight was quickly wiped out in the final round on the Palmer Course at PGA West.

A front nine of 37 from the 37-year-old had opened up the door to the chasing pack.

However Wilson recovered his composure to play the last eight holes in four-under par for a closing 69 and 24-under-par total of 264.

That gave Wilson a two-shot win over fellow Americans Johnson Wagner - who won the Sony Open in Hawaii last week - John Mallinger and Robert Garrigus.

Garrigus, who had dropped a shot on the 17th to fall out of a tie for the lead with Wilson, had a chance to finish outright second but missed from nine feet for birdie on the last.

Wilson bogeyed the third and did not pick up his first birdie of the day until the par-five 11th. - http://www1.skysports.com
