Mark Wilson weathered strong winds, fading light and a charging pack to pick up the fifth PGA Tour win of his career at the Humana Challenge. He may have had to return to the course first thing on Sunday to finish off his third round, after heavy gusts had damaged the course and halted play the day before, but Wilson remained unperturbed to polish off his penultimate round and post a three under par Sunday to win by a stroke. Faced with a ten footer for birdie and the win at the last the Wisconsin native, still sporting short sleeves as the light faded and temperature dropped, rolled in the putt and took the trophy. The win not only adds to his career trophy haul, it proves his credentials as one of the Tour’s fastest starters, with all his victories coming before mid-March. This backs up his two wins in the opening few weeks of 2011, and sees him climb 17 spots on The Official World Golf Ranking to 40th place.
Luke Donald completes 34 consecutive weeks as World Number One, and has surpassed Vijay Singh’s stretch of 26 weeks at World Number One between September 2004 and March 2005, making Donald’s stint at the top – apart, of course, from Tiger Woods – the longest since Greg Norman’s 96 weeks from 1995 to 1997
The other players who have had official World Number 1 status in the 24 year history of the Ranking are BERNHARD LANGER (3 weeks), SEVE BALLESTEROS (61 weeks), GREG NORMAN (331 weeks), NICK FALDO (97 weeks), IAN WOOSNAM (50 weeks), FRED COUPLES (16 weeks), NICK PRICE (44 weeks), TOM LEHMAN (1 week), ERNIE ELS (9 weeks), DAVID DUVAL (15 weeks), VIJAY SINGH (32 weeks), TIGER WOODS (623 weeks), MARTIN KAYMER (8 weeks), LEE WESTWOOD (22 weeks)
