Wise captures 1st Web.com Tour’s Air Capital Classic title
Hossler second with a 67
WICHITA, Kan, June 19, (AP): Aaron Wise completed a wire-towire victory Sunday in the Air Capital Classic to lock up a PGA Tour card with his first Web. com Tour title.
The 20-yearold Wise closed with a 2-under 68 in 100-degree heat at Crestview for a 21-under 259 total and a fivestroke victory over Monday qualifier Beau Hossler.
The 2016 NCAA individual champion for Oregon, Wise earned $112,500 to jump from 35th to sixth on the money list with $171,072.
The top 25 at the end of the regular season will earn PGA Tour cards.
Wise opened 62-62-67 to take a six-stroke lead into the final round.
On Sunday, he eagled the par-5 14th, hitting an 8-iron from 175 yards to 6 feet.
He missed the cuts in his previous two starts.
At 20 years, 11 months, 28 days, Wise is the fourth-youngest winner in tour history. Jason Day set the record of 19 years, 7 months, 26 days in the 2007 Legend Financial Group Classic.
Hossler finished with a 67. He earned $67,500 to reach No. 32 on the money list with $71,396 and earned Special Temporary Membership for the rest of the season by eclipsing the No. 100 player’s total from last year.
Jin Park (67) was third at 15 under, and Justin Hueber (64), Adam Schenk (65) and Josh Teater (64) were another stroke back.
