• Extends his fully-exempt status through the 2014 season.

• Posted his best scores (second- and third-round 4-under 66s) in 14 rounds at Waialae CC. His previous-best score was second-round 68 in missing the cut in 2009 and first-round 68 this week.

• Became the fourth consecutive Sony Open champion to shoot all four rounds in the 60s.

• Easily tops his best career finish in the Sony Open (1-2012, MC-2011, MC-2010, MC-2009, T34-2007).

• Becomes the ninth of the last 14 Sony Open winners to play the week prior at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.

• Posts his first win in come-from-behind fashion (he trailed Jeff Maggert and Matt Every by two shots after 54 holes).

• Records the 322nd win on the PGA TOUR by a former Nationwide Tour player.

This victory is Wagner’s third in 141 career starts on the PGA TOUR. Here’s a list of Wagner’s TOUR wins:
