Former Hokie golfer Johnson Wagner won his second PGA TOUR title this past weekend at the Mayakoba Golf Classic in El Camaleon, Riviera Maya, Mexico. Wagner was leading the event by one stroke heading into the final round on Sunday and fired a bogey-free 4-under par 67 to finish 17-under par and tied with Spencer Levin, who shot 65 on Sunday. Wagner won the event with a par on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff.

Wagner made just two bogeys in four days, shooting rounds of 69-66-65-67=267. For the week, Wagner made 17 birdies, one eagle, and 53 pars. Wagner took home a check for $660,000.  He receives a two-year exemption to all regular season events on the PGA TOUR.

Mayakoba is Wagner’s second victory in a PGA Tour event since graduating from Virginia Tech in 2002. He also won the 2008 Shell Houston Open. He is one of two former Hokie golfers with exempt status on the PGA Tour. Former teammate Brendon de Jonge finished 34^th on the money list a year ago to maintain his Tour card.
