Johnson Wagner has a big payday on PGA Tour

Former Hokie golfer Johnson Wagner posted his best-ever finish on the PGA Tour over the weekend, as he was second at the Viking Classic at the Annandale Golf Club in Madison, Miss.

Wagner shot a three-round total of 276 and finished one stroke behind Ryder Cup member Chad Campbell. With the finish, Wagner earned $378,000 and appears to be comfortably inside the amount needed to regain his card for next season. He has earned $995,024 and is 83rd on the money leaders list. Johnson jumped from 123rd to 83rd following his weekend performance. The top 125 on the money list earn their cards for next season.

This is Wagner’s fourth top 20 finish in his last five events. His previous best finish was tying for ninth at the Shell Houston Open.

Fellow PGA Tour member Brendon de Jonge, finished tied for 29th on Sunday and is currently 151st on the money list.

The PGA Tour moves to San Antonio for the Valero Texas Open this weekend.
