"The greens are so soft out there it's like throwing darts," he said.
Wilkinson's 64 equaled his career-low score on the Nationwide Tour, set during the first round of the Miccosukee Championship in 2004. He attributed this 64 to the ease he feels playing on the par-71 layout at Crestview Country Club's North Course.
The players knotted in second place at six-under-par 65 are Kevin Johnson, Deane Pappas, Danny Briggs, Chez Reavie, Jason Dufner and Josh Broadaway.
Ayrshire, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Loren Roberts birdied the first playoff hole Sunday to defeat Eduardo Romero and win the Senior British Open. Roberts struggled to a five-over 75 in the final round to end at six-under-par 274. Romero managed a one-over 71 to join Roberts in the playoff at the Ailsa Course at Westin Turnberry Resort.
The playoff was the par-five 18th hole. Roberts drive went well right into the rough, while Romero found the fairway off the tee. Roberts played his second 50 yards from the green.
Roberts poured in his birdie try, then Romero missed his six-footer, giving Roberts the crown. This was Roberts fifth Champions Tour win -- fourth this year -- and second major title on the senior circuit after the 2005 JELD-WEN Tradition.
Roberts and Romero dueled throughout the round. Roberts was in command at the outset, but Romero caught him on the 10th and that was when things really got interesting.
Romero birdied No. 5 to close within two of Roberts. The 52-year-old Romero moved within one thanks to a birdie at the seventh.
Roberts bogeyed the 12th, then stumbled to a double bogey at 14 to drop to minus-eight. He still led by one, though, as Romero bogeyed 12, 13 and 14 to slide to seven-under par.
The struggles down the stretch for Roberts were reminiscent of the Senior Players Championship where he led by two entering Sunday and by as many as five strokes during that final round. Roberts stumbled to a two-over 74 and eventually finished two shots behind winner Bobby Wadkins.
Senior PGA champion Jay Haas and D.A. Weibring each posted rounds of two-under 68 Sunday to end in a tie for sixth place at one-over-par 281. Gil Morgan and David Edwards were two strokes further back at plus-three.
On Thursday, Pavin established a new PGA Tour record for lowest nine-hole score with a 26 on the front nine at Brown Deer Park Golf Club. By the time the second round ended Saturday morning, he matched the tour record for lowest total for an opening-36 holes with a 125.

After all the trouble thats ensued since Braylon Edwards allegedly punched one of LeBron James homeboys in the face at a club, the Cleveland Browns have sent away their last remaining player of worth to the New York Jets. This is a great move for Dirty Sanchez and all, but its even better for the Knicks. Now Donnie Walsh can say, You get to haunt Braylon Edwards with your posse if you sign here! next summer.
Putting that aside for a moment, the move is a clear indication that the new-look Jets are gunning for the Super Bowl this year. I dont think that New York thought that Dirty Sanchez was going to be such a rock star. With a 75.2 passer rating that was killed against the Jets, Sanchez is doing an admirable job of managing games and putting the Jets in a position to win. The defense has been the major story in New York thus far, but the acquisition of Braylon Edwards makes this offense loaded with talent that can dent any defense as long as Dirty Sanchez continues his meteoric rise.
Thus far, Edwards has been a non-factor in the NFL piling up just 139 receiving yards on 10 catches. He has yet to find the endzone, and with the Browns mired in the most unsexy quarterback controversy of all time (Anderson vs. Quinn...yawn), there going nowhere fast. Edwards is two seasons removed from a career year which saw him catch 80 passes for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns when the Browns were the spread killing monsters of 2007. In 2008, injuries slowed the receiver down to just 873 yards and three touchdowns though he played in all 16 games.
So that being said, we really dont know if Braylon Edwards is just a flash in the pan, or a legit threat. At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, he is a prototypical receiver. But hes also shown a strange, and unwarranted, talent for dropping passes. Lining up opposite Jericho Cotchery, a speed demon with 23 catches, 356 yards and a single touchdown, may give Braylon the open looks he needs. A change of scenery may also rejuvenate the star receiver.
In return, the Browns will receive Chansi Stuckey, online football betting a special teams player youve never heard of and a pair of draft picks. Thats a tall order for a guy whose only real value right now is in his name, and it shows no promise to the Browns that they can rebuild around those acquisitions. Braylon was the only reason to hope for the Browns to go 3-14 SU this year. Without him, they dont have a single guy on offense that can scare any team.
For the Jets, its a response to the pounding that they took at the hand of the Saints. Thomas Jones and Leon Washington have averaged around 4.0 yards per carry each on the ground, but striking a fair balance between the passing and rushing attacks in New York has been a struggle. You have to believe that the trio of Dustin Keller, Jericho Cotchery and Braylon Edwards will give Sanchez the weapons he needs to unleash through the air. Theoretically, that would open up holes for the rushing game. But the proposed public option health care plan works in theory too. We need to see the proof in the pudding before we start loading up mega bucks on the New York Jets to take the AFC.
The one wrinkle in this whole thing is that Braylon could very well be suspended by the league for disciplinary action due to his brawl with LeBrons friend. If thats the case, the Jets may have to bench him for a few games leaving them with a somewhat depleted receiving corps for a few games. Also, this is a guy who gets in fights with people at clubs. New York may not be the best place for him. Just sayin.
The Jets have a long week before they meet the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football Betting in a virtual pick em game. Braylons excess baggage may be a distraction, and his curiously low production may be what we should be expecting of him overall, but for the Jets, taking a chance to strike gold is well worth it. At the end of the year, they can simply just blame it on their rookie quarterback.
