SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Mark Wilson had a two-stroke lead in the Phoenix Open when play was suspended Sunday because of darkness.
Wearing a yellow visor and green shirt in support of his beloved Packers, the Wisconsin player broke a tie with Tommy Gainey with a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-3 12th. Gainey three-putted for a bogey on the hole.
Wilson and Gainey were facing 20-foot birdie putts on the par-5 13th when they decided it was too dark to finish the hole.
Wilson was 18 under. Gainey was tied for second with Vijay Singh and Jason Dufner. Singh shot a 66, while Dufner had four holes left.
Calgary’s Stephen Ames shot a final-round 75 to finish the tournament at 3 under.
The start Sunday was delayed a half-hour because of frost. About nine hours of playing time has been lost to frost and frozen turf, forcing the Monday finish.
Wilson completed a 3-under 68 in the third round Sunday and was 2 under through 12 holes in the final round. On the amphitheatre No. 16 in the third round, Wilson and caddie Chris Jones donned cheeseheads and led the fans in Packers chants.
Gainey was 1 over in the final round after shooting a 68 in the third round to take a one-stroke lead over Wilson.
Singh, winless since 2008, was the last player off the course, putting out on the par-4 18th in the dark more than 10 minutes after Wilson and Gainey stopped playing.
