Eric Axley, a 2005 Nationwide Tour graduate, left golf fans everywhere wondering who are you? The kid obviously has game, and a hot putter as the 2005 Rex Hospital winner shot two 63s, a 68, and a 1 over 71. Axley's long drives would take him from 183rd on the money list, and moved to 87th. Axley was not looking at another tour card for the 2007 season, nor partial playing status. Despite a strong effort by Anthony Kim who shot 65, Axley's three sub 70 rounds would carry him to the victory circle. Also tied for second with Kim, three behind Axley, was Justin Rose who is beginning to find his game, seeming to be in contention each of the last few weeks. Axley had not recorded any top ten finishes prior to his win, but has assured himself a tour card and full playing priveleges next season. Axley takes home $720,000 of the four million dollar purse.
