Cameron Wilson Grabs NCAA Title

MGA standout Cameron Wilson captured the NCAA Individual championship yesterday in a sudden-death playoff that went three holes on the Prairie Dunes course in Hutchinson, Kansas. His win puts him in pretty heady company: The other Stamford players who hold the title are Sandy Lyle and Tiger Woods.

Wilson's overtime win came against Georgia Tech's Ollie Schniederjans, a frequent NCAA opponent and, according to Wilson, a good friend.  Wilson missed a putt on the last hole of regulation to end up in the playoff.

The win caps a stellar year for the Connecticut native. He won the Fighting Illini and the Western Intercollegiate and at one point had a streak of 197 consecutive holes without a double bogey or worse.

Last year, Wilson won his second consecutive Ike championship, bringing to five the number of MGA wins he's logged. He was named MGA Player of the Year in 2009.
