Erik van Rooyen started his round with a bogey and closed with an eagle at the par-5 18th for a final-round 63 to reach 27-under and win the World Wide Technology Championship by two shots; his second PGA our title in his 91st start at the age of 33 years, 8 months, 15 days.<\/p>\n

“Obviously it didn’t start off on a great note, making a 6 on one left a sour taste in my mouth,” said the South African.\u00a0 “Then you drain a, what is it, 35-, 40-footer on 2 and it’s like, OK, it’s all right, this is a silly game so just keep playing. Hung around all day. Didn’t make a ton of birdies. Camilo got off to a super hot start, Matt made some putts which he always does, and things just turned on the back nine. Great birdie on 10, almost holed it on 11, beautiful 13-, 14-footer on 12, left-right breaker in the heart and you’re off and running. Just hung in there and made some fricking awesome putts on 16, 17 and 18.”<\/p>\n
