MARK WILSON WINS HONDA
CLASSIC PLAY-OFF
American Mark Wilson won the held-over four-man play-off for the Honda Classic first prize when the US PGA Tour event over the PGA National course at Palm Beach Gardens, Florida finally ended on Monday morning.
Wilson birdied the third play-off hole from 8ft to relegate Jose Coceres to second place, Camilo Villegas and Boo Weekley had been eliminated at the second hole. All four had par 5s at the first extra hole on Sunday evening before darkness forced officials to call a halt for the day.
It was Wilson's first US PGA Tour win in 111 starts.
The long-awaited victory was worth $990,000 to Mark Wilson but, almost as important, it means he now has exempt status on the US Tour through to the end of the 2009 season.
He has been to the Tour's Qualifying School in each of the last 10 years.
