Mark Wilson sunk a 10-foot birdie putt to claim the Humana Challenge title in California.

The American led by three strokes on Sunday morning as the final holes of the delayed third round were completed. During the final 18 holes, Wilson held off the chasing pack to lift his fifth PGA Tour trophy.

Wilson closed the tournament with a three-under 69 to finish at 24-under, taking home over US$1 million in prize money.

Robert Garrigus, John Mallinger and Johnson Wagner all pushed Wilson on the final day, but fell two strokes short in their attempt to make up lost ground. Garrigus narrowly missed a 35-foot eagle putt that would have given him the lead at the death, while Wilson holed a tricky putt to seal victory as dusk settled on the La Quinta course.

Jeff Maggert ended the tournament a further shot back and Australian John Senden was the best of the international field at 20-under, alongside David Toms.

England's Gary Christian wound up in a share of 14th place on 17-under, as did Scotland's Martin Laird
