Former Virginia Tech golfer Johnson Wagner won his third PGA
Tour event with a two-stroke victory at the Sony Open in Hawaii on Sunday
evening. With the win, Wagner is exempt on the PGA Tour through 2014 and earns
a berth in this year’s Masters and next season’s Hyundai Tournament of
Champions.
Wagner shot a final round three-under-par 67 and finished
with a four-day total of 13-under-par 267, two strokes ahead of four golfers
who tied at 269. Wagner played bogey-free golf over the final 12 holes to
secure the victory.
As a result of the victory, Wagner claimed 500 FedEx points
and earned a paycheck of $990,000. With his ninth place finish in last week’s
Hyundai Tournament of Champions, Wagner claims an early lead in the FedEx
points race. He has 575 FedEx points, 45 ahead of Steve Stricker, who won last
week in Maui.
Wagner was not the only Hokie to fare well at the Waialea
Country Club this weekend, as former teammate Brendon de Jonge finished tied
for 10th place at the event. He pocketed $137,500 in the tournament,
as well as 70 FedEx points.
