Wilson Soars to Players Victory
With the Blue Angels flying overhead on the back nine, Andrew Wilson (33-40) kept his concentration and held formation long enough to secure his first major title. Chris Japhet (35-40, 8 fairways) eagled the 1st hole and shadowed Wilson throughout the round, but couldn’t gain ground on the tough back nine. Eric Birkle (39-37) finished with 3 birdies in the last 4 holes to tie for 3rd with Erik Meland (37-39) and Chris Dunmore (34-42), whose title holes both disappeared in the marsh on the 15th hole. Wilson’s 2nd career victory also gave him the Central Division Money Title by $1 over Mike Prieskorn.
