Manawatu's Tim Wilkinson has fired a strong final round at the Barracuda Championship in Reno, Nevada on the PGA Tour as he finished in a share of eighth place.
The left-hander accumulated 12 modified stableford points from his round today that included seven birdies and two bogeys, as he finished on 34 points, 15 back from winner Geoff Ogilvy (49). American Justin Hicks finished second (44), while countrymen John Huh and Johnathan Byrd shared third place on 37 points.
Kiwi Danny Lee, who made four birdies and two bogeys during his final round, finished in a share of 53rd on 21 points.
This week's $3.5 million tournament had a water-down field as the world's best players were at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio.
The Barracuda Championship, which changed its scoring to modified stableford in 2012, is the only tournament on the PGA Tour, which uses this format.
