Canadian golfer wins PNGA Mid-Am

Brent Wilson of Cobble Hill, B.C. shot a final round 1-under-par 70 to come from behind and win the 31st Pacific Northwest Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship.

The 54-hole stroke-play championship was held on the Valley Course at the Westin Bear Mountain Resort in Victoria, B.C., and was conducted by the Pacific Northwest Golf Association (PNGA).

Wilson, 33, had started the day a shot behind co-leaders Erik Hanson of Kirkland, Wash. and Rob Olson of Victoria, B.C. With all three players paired together in the last group of the final round, Wilson had his work cut out for him, with Hanson already having won the 2015 Pacific Northwest Master-40 Championship, and Olson perhaps having an edge, being the current club champion at Bear Mountain.
