“I'm speechless,” Wiebe said. “I've been hitting the ball nice and playing some nice golf the last couple of months, so the playing didn't surprise me, but the score surprised me a little bit.”

Dana Quigley (69) was second at 15-under 201. Keith Fergus (67) and Bruce Lietzke (67) tied for third at 13-under 203 and Mark McNulty (67) was fifth at 12-under 204.
