Mark Wilson didn't come to México for vacation, he came to work. Although his job took him to Mayakoba, México's top resort, and he stayed at a hotel near the beach, never once during the Mayakoba Golf Classic did he hear any mariachis play.

Not until the eight guys in sombreros and matching cream-colored suits were playing in his honor.

The co-leader after the second and third rounds, Wilson went ahead for good on the second hole of the final round, then held on through dark clouds and wild winds over the back nine to secure the win and the $648,000 USD check.

Wilson shot a final-round 68 and finished at 13-under-par 267, two stokes ahead of second-place finisher J.J. Henry. The win at the Mayakoba Golf Classic marks Wilson's second career PGA TOUR victory; he previously won the 2007 Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

The Mayakoba Golf Classic looks forward to a great year with Mark Wilson representing the event as its defending champion! Be sure to follow Mark all season long as he looks to build on his success.

Again this year, the Mayakoba Golf Classic is conducting an online survey seeking your feedback about the 2009 MGC. Your input helps us prepare for 2010 event with off-season upgrades and improvements.

All survey takers will be entered in a drawing to win a two-night stay at the Fairmont Mayakoba and two (2) complimentary rounds of golf at El Camaleón Golf Club, home of the Mayakoba Golf Classic. All surveys must be completed by May 31 in order to be eligible for the drawing.

With your help, the Mayakoba Golf Classic will continue growing and improving. By participating, you ensure that the tournament knows which elements of the event are highlights for fans as well as making the event staff aware of areas that may need improvement in order to provide the greatest spectator experience on the PGA TOUR.

Slightly more than one year after becoming champion of the 2008 Mayakoba Golf Classic, Brian Gay captured his second career PGA TOUR title when he won the 2009 Verizon Heritage in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Gay shot a record-setting 20-under-par 264 to claim the championship by a whopping 10 strokes! Luke Donald and Briny Baird tied for second at 10-under-par 274.

Congratulations Brian on continuing your winning ways! Click here to relive Brian's 2008 Mayakoba Golf Classic championship and see photos.
