Sunice Tour Pro Mark Wilson had six minutes between the end of his third round and the start of his fourth round Sunday during the marathon 36-hole finale of the Sony Open in Hawaii. At that point he was 18 holes away from his third PGA TOUR win.
Wilson played 36 bogey-free holes Sunday. He started the day two shots off the lead, climbed steadily up the leaderboard, shot a 5-under 65 to lead by one stroke after the third round ended, and never wavered after that, winning by two shots at 16 under. “It was probably helpful that we played 36 holes and never stopped,” Wilson said.
He was rock solid. Steady. For Wilson, relatively short off the tee, that’s the formula for success. That’s how he’s managed to win three PGA TOUR events. That’s why he’ll be making his first appearance at the Masters in April, thanks to his win on Sunday. Wilson’s victory earned him a two-year Tour exemption, an invitation to his first Masters and a spot in his second U.S. Open. http://www.sunice.com/us
