On the strength of a final-round 65, 21-year-old Aaron Wise broke through for his first PGA Tour victory Sunday, taking the AT&T Byron Nelson at Trinity Forest. Here's how Wise beat the field and darkness following a lengthy rain delay:Leaderboard: Wise (-23), Marc Leishman (-20), Branden Grace (-19), J.J. Spaun (-19), Keith Mitchell (-19)What it means: This is Wises first PGA Tour win in just his 18th start as a member. Tied with Leishman to start the final round, Wise raced ahead with six birdies in a seven-hole stretch from Nos. 4-10 and never looked back. He'd make eight straight pars on his way into the clubhouse and the winner's circle. The 2016 NCAA Division I individual champion just locked up Tour status through the 2019-20 season and guaranteed himself a spot in the PGA Championship.Best of the rest: Leishman reached 20 under par but just couldnt keep pace with Wise. This is his second runner-up of the season, following a solo second in the CJ Cup in October.Round of the day: Grace carded a 62 where have I heard that before? with eight birdies, an eagle and a bogey to end up tied for third, his best finish of the season on Tour.Biggest disappointment: Adam Scott looked as though he had done enough to qualify for the U.S. Open via the Official World Golf Ranking when he walked off the golf course. Unfortunately, minutes later, hed drop from a four-way tie for sixth into a three-way tie for ninth, narrowly missing out on this week's OWGR cutoff.Break of the day: Wise could very well have found the hazard off the tee at No. 9 if not for a well-placed sprinkler head. Rather than drop a shot, he took advantage of his good fortune and poured in another birdie putt to extend his lead.
Winners take advantage of their good breaks.@AaronWise_ did just that on No. 9.#LiveUnderPar pic.twitter.com/5jnmRzIVL2— PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) May 20, 2018Quote of the day: "It's a dream come true to win this one." - Wise
