Wilkinson goes low to earn Web.com Tour card

Manawatus Tim Wilkinson has birdied nine out of his first 10 holes during the final Web.com Tour qualifying round to earn his card for 2019.

Wilkinson now joins Steve Alker who made the required top 40 by a single shot while Nick Voke had already qualified after his successful year on the China Tour, but the amount of events he is able to play is still unknown.

The man from Manawatu began the final round tied for 66th but with a birdie on the first hole, things started well for the 40-year-old.

On the third hole, his magic run started as he went on to birdie the next eight holes to shoot 28 for his front nine.

Wilkinson added just one more birdie to card a 62 and comfortably qualify in 15th spot at 21-under for the tournament.

Alker shot a seven-under 65 to sneak in on the number, securing his spot with a birdie on the par-five 17th.
