Mark Wilson finally gets first victory

Posted Mar 6, 2007

Mark Wilson was a math major at UNC and confesses that one of his favorite things is crossing off items on his to-do lists. He can now erase the top entry on that sheet of goals. Wilson made a birdie to beat Jose Coceres on the third playoff hole and win the Honda Classic at PGA National on Monday, the 32-year-old player's first PGA Tour win in 111 career tries.
