American wins HSBC New Zealand PGA Championship

Nicholas Thompson, an American, beat David Morland, IV, in sudden death playoff to capture the win at the HSBC New Zealand PGA Championship.

Thompson earned $109,000 for the win. Morland pockets $61,000 for second place. Thompson now has to choose between two tournaments next week: the Johnny Walker Classic in Phuket, Thailand or the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida on the PGA Tour. Given that Thompson is a Florida native, my money is on the Honda Classic.
