Dean Wilson is taking full advantage of a sponsor exemption -- and his long friendship with Canadian star Mike Weir.
Relying on his past champion status to get into tournaments after finishing 152nd last year on the PGA Tour money list, the 40-year-old Wilson -- Weir's teammate at BYU -- received a sponsor exemption into the Canadian Open.
"I really appreciate that," Wilson said Saturday after shooting his third straight 5-under 65 to take a four-stroke lead over record-setting Carl Pettersson, Tim Clark and Bob Estes at rainy St. George's.
