Gonzales grabs rare wire-to-wire win at Soboba
Date:2013-03-24

Andres Gonzales didn't need any extra holes at the Soboba Golf Classic this time around. The 28-year-old from Washington, a playoff runner-up here last fall, fired an even-par 71 Sunday to complete a wire-to-wire win, his first on the Nationwide Tour.

Gonzales finished at 8-under 276, two strokes in front of Andrew Svoboda, who temporarily grabbed a share of the lead Sunday when he eagled the par-5 6th hole. Svoboda surrendered the lead back with bogeys and Nos. 10, 11 and 13, leaving Gonzales with a four-shot bulge midway through the back nine.

Alistair Presnell birdied the final two holes for a 3-under 68 that lifted him into a tie for third with Michael Letzig (70) at 5-under 279. Justin Hicks, who ran off a string of five consecutive birdies on the front nine, was fifth, four shots off the pace.

Gonzales' steady Easter diet of fairways (he hit 10 of 14) and greens (he hit 14 in regulation) was all he needed to pick up the winner's check for 5,000. The victory, coupled with a runner-up effort at the Pacific Rubiales Colombia Championship to open the year, pushes him to No. 1 on the money list.

The former UNLV Rebel made a solid par-save to maintain his advantage and stepped to the tee at the reachable, par-5, 18th. A big drive in the fairway left him little to do but avoid the water that guards the front-left side of the green.
