Golf: Zach Johnson wins Texas Open; Wilson 44th

Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO — Zach Johnson won the Texas Open today for his fourth PGA Tour title, following his third-round 62 with a 64 for a two-stroke victory over Charlie Wi, Mark Wilson and Tim Wilkinson.

Johnson, the 2007 Masters champion who entered the week with only one top-10 finish this year, had a 19-under 261 total on the La Cantera Golf Club's Resort Course.

The victory, capped with a 5-foot birdie putt on 18, was his first on the tour outside Georgia. In addition to the Masters, he won the 2004 BellSouth Classic and 2007 AT&T Classic.

Wi finished with a 61, Wilson had a 63, and Wilkinson shot a 64.

Kane'ohe native Dean Wilson shot a 68 and finished tied for 44th at 275.
