Wilson Makes It A Pair For 2011

In a golf tournament that seemed to go on forever after frost delayed regulation play and a playoff extended it, Mark Wilson (65-64-68-69-266) grabbed his second PGA Tour of the season on Monday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

The 2011 Sony Open in Hawaii winner outlasted Jason Dufner (65-68-67-66-266) in a two-hole playoff at TPC Scottsdale, capping it with a final birdie from nine feet on the TPC’s 10^th hole while Dufner had yet to putt for par from just over seven feet.

In just three starts this year Mark Wilson has been in peak form. Now a winner of four career PGA Tour titles, his win today affords the opportunity for the 36-year old to play in all the majors this year.

“This is the best golf I’ve played in my life,” he said in an interview with The Golf Channel immediately after the playoff.

Wilson, best known for his methodical style of play, depended on that greatly Monday as he watched one of his rivals for the title, Tommy Gainey, struggle to a triple bogey on the 17^th hole and fall out of contention.

Meanwhile Jason Dufner made the required charge with birdies on holes 16 and 17 and a great up and down par on his final hole in regulation. He fully expected that his total of eighteen under would not be enough to reach a playoff; that Wilson would birdie one of his remaining holes. In fact, Wilson needed a clutch par putt of around five feet on his 72^nd hole just to reach the playoff. Dufner is on a roll, by his own account having made only three bogeys in his last 108 holes on tour, and he is a good pick for this week at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Wilson’s victory comes on the heels of a Superbowl win by his favourite team, the Green Bay Packers. The only that might elevate his recent play even more would be a second win of the week as he is scheduled to be in the field at the AT&T.

With the win Wilson jumps ahead of Jhonnatan Vegas in the FedEx Cup standings and cashes a check for $1.098 million. Dufner earned $658,000 for his efforts.

Martin Laird (68-71-64-65-268) and Vijay Singh (69-65-68-66-268) shared third place and each added $353,800 to their bank accounts.

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green.

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time.

Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
