LOS CABOS, Mexico—Erik van Rooyen made a 16-foot eagle putt on the par-5 closing hole Sunday to win the World Wide Technology Championship, a day after Matt Kuchar squandered a six-stroke lead with a late meltdown.
Playing alongside Kuchar at Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal at Diamante on the tip of Baja California, van Rooyen played the back nine in 8–under 28 in a 9–under 63. The 33-year-old South African finished at 27–under 261 for his second PGA Tour victory, two strokes ahead of Kuchar and Camilo Villegas.
