With the victory, Johnson Wagner collects 4,500 FedExCup points to move from No. 188 to No. 18 in the points standings, with 4,680 points. Tiger Woods maintains the top spot with 14,775 points. The win was worth a career-best $1,008,000 for the former Virginia Tech All-American, eclipsing the $378,000 he earned in finishing second at the 2007 Viking Classic.
• The victory for the 28-year-old Wagner also earns him his first ticket to the Masters Tournament. The odds will be stacked against him collecting a Green Jacket, however. Since 1934, only 10 players have won the tournament before a Major Championship and then claimed one of the game's top prizes. The last to do so was Tiger Woods with his wins at the 2007 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and the PGA Championship.
