PGA CHAMPIONSHIP
Wilson shoots 5-under to climb to 29th-place tie
Tiger Woods wins 12th major
Dean Wilson of Kaneohe shot a 5-under par 67 yesterday to finish tied for 29th at the PGA Championship at Medinah, Ill.
Tiger Woods shot 4-under 68 yesterday to go to 18-under for the tournament and win by five strokes, capturing his 12th major.
Wilson made seven birdies and two bogeys yesterday. He shot 74-70-74-67—285 for a four-rouind 3-under total.
Wilson was coming off his first PGA Tour victory last week at The International.
It is his best finish in a major. He tied for 30th at the 2001 U.S. Open.
Wilson gets another shot at WGC
Kaneohe's Dean Wilson's first chance to play at the World Golf Championship was interrupted by the Sept. 11 attacks.
Five years later, he gets another chance.
Wilson qualified last week by beating Tom Lehman in sudden death at The International -- his first PGA Tour victory. So instead of going to the Reno-Tahoe Open, he'll head to Firestone in Akron, Ohio.
"I was very excited to play in that event and get a feel for it," Wilson said, referring to the 2001 event, then called the American Express Championship in St. Louis. "I played a couple practice rounds. Then, 9/11 happened."
This year?
"I'm still excited," Wilson said. "I've played a lot more tournaments. I've got more experience. I've played more majors. Maybe it won't be as huge of an excitement for me. It may be more commonplace, just go out and play the tournament."
Wilson's mother, Grace, was scheduled to watch him play in Reno. Instead, she'll make the trip from Hawaii to Akron.
There will be no casinos, but that won't be a problem for her.
"She's a huge golf fan," Wilson said. "She loves to come out and walk every hole and watch me practice. She's the one who got me started in golf."
