He won $US297,829 last year and has 12 events this season to earn
$US365,675 to make up the difference from last year's part season
to retain his playing privileges.
Monday's prize money is Wilkinson's highest since he banked
$US198,000 for a sixth at last April's Verizon Heritage Classic in
South Carolina.
The Palmerston North player shot an even-par 71 in Monday's finals
round for a six-under total of 278 to be 10 shots behind American
winner, Steve Stricker.
