Mark Wilson wins 2011 PGA Tour Sony Open

Posted Jan 17, 2011
Mark Wilson barely had time to eat a sandwich, much less keep track of his round, when he arrived at the 17th green Sunday afternoon at the Sony Open and realized he had not made a single bogey during this 36-hole marathon. His four-shot lead had dwindled to a stroke. Wilson was staring at a 12-foot par putt. The putt curled in the side, and Wilson started his season with a win to earn his first trip to the Masters (WRAL Sports Fan)
