| Post subject: | Wagner wins Sony Open |
Johnson Wagner has won his third PGA Tour title with New 2012 TaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Driversat the Sony Open in Hawaii, the American shooting a final round 3-under 67 that, in the end, was quite enough to see him claim victory by two shots. Wagner finished at 13-under, but overnight leader Matt Every missed his big chance of winning his first PGA title, shooting a two over 72 by New 2012 TaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Drivers to finish tied for sixth. Four players tied for second at 11-under, each and every one of them having had a chance to win at some stage of the day. Carl Petterson, Sean O'Hair and Harrison Frazar all matched Wagner's 67 on the day, but it wasn't enough, while strong contender Charles Howell III slipped out of the race with a 1-under 69, his worst round of competition. Wagner's day had started with a bogey five and although he picked a shot on the second he added a second bogey on the sixth hole. He again followed that with a birdie at the next and went on to the turn in three under, with a pressure putt from the sleeve of the green on the 15th the highlight of his surge. Wagner almost gave himself an unnecessary problem on the final green when he left a birdie attempt short and then almost botched the tap-in putt, but luck stayed with his New 2012 TaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Drivers. "I was a little shaky (on the last)," he told Sky Sports 1. "To leave that birdie shot short was a little pathetic, but I knew I was safe. I'm really excited. I've worked so hard in the off-season with my trainer, my caddie, and I told everyone I was going to win early this year. |
