Tucson Open : Frost Wins When Ailing Wiebe Falters

TUCSON, Ariz. —  David Frost of South Africa, unchallenged by ailing Mark Wiebe, shot a 5-under-par 67 and coasted to a 5-stroke victory Sunday in the Tucson Open golf tournament.

Frost won his second title of the season and his second of a 4-year PGA career with a 266 total, 22 shots under par on the TPC course at StarPass.

The victory was worth $108,000 and lifted Frost into sixth place on the money-winning list with $621,900 going into next week’s season-ending Nabisco Championship.

The Nabisco tournament, which offers $3 million in prize money, is open only to the top 30 players from the season money-winning list.

Frost, who entered the final round tied for the lead with Wiebe, birdied the first three holes and wasn’t really threatened again.

Wiebe, who had a round of 11-under Saturday, wasn’t much of a factor Sunday. He had severe stomach troubles overnight and sought medical care when he arrived at the golf course.

Wiebe could do no better than a 73 and drifted back into a tie for fourth with Ken Green at 272. Mark Calcavecchia and Mark O’Meara came on to share second at 271.
