Neilson (minus-21) shot a nine-under 63 closing round to win the Dick's Sporting Goods Open at the En'Joie GC, Endicott, NY. Fred Funk and Ronnie Black tied for second, three shots back.
ANALYSIS
This is Neilson's best for 2009 to date. He was first in greens hit enabling an eagle and seven birdies - no bogeys. Funk, in the field for next week's PGA Tour AT&T National, placed 62nd at the 2007 AT&T National where he has a "home game" and a great support group. He missed last year's event because of his knee problems.
