American claims Sony title

A final-round 67 helped Johnson Wagner register his third PGA Tour win at the Sony Open in Hawaii. Wagner finished on 13-under for the event to move two shots clear of the chasing pack - with overnight leader Matt Every missing his chance to push for the title after carding a two-over round to finish tied for sixth. Four players finished in a share of second on 11-under, with each player having been in with chance of victory at some point during the day. Carl Petterson, Sean O'Hair and Harrison Frazar all matched Wagner's 67 on the day, while Charles Howell III managed only one under - his worst round of competition.

Pressure putt

Wagner's day had started with a bogey five and although he picked a shot right back up at the second he added a second bogey on six. He again followed that with a birdie at the next hole and went round the back nine in three-under, with a pressure putt from the sleeve of the green on the 15th the highlight. Wagner almost gave himself an unnecessary problem on the final green when he left a birdie attempt short and then almost botched the tap-in putt, but luck stayed with him. "I was a little shaky (on the last)," he told Sky Sports. "To leave that birdie shot short was a little pathetic but I knew I was safe. I'm really excited. I've worked so hard in the off-season with my trainer, my caddie, and I told everyone I was going to win early this year. "It feels good to have done it."
