Former Tar Heel Mark Wilson wins second PGA title of season

Posted Feb 8, 2011
Packers fan Mark Wilson celebrated a big victory of his own on a playing field about as close to frozen tundra as it gets on the PGA Tour. A self-described cheesehead from Menomonee Falls, Wis., Wilson won the frost-delayed Phoenix Open yesterday in Scottsdale, Ariz., for his second victory in three starts this year, holing a 9-foot birdie putt on the second hole of a playoff with Jason Dufner.
