VALDOSTA, Ga. - Will Wilcox cruised to victory at the South Georgia Classic on Sunday for his first victory on the Web.com Tour.

Alex Rocha (67), Andrew Loupe (70) and Ryan Spears tied for fifth at 10 under.

Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., shot a final round 73 to finish in a tie for 23rd.

Roger Sloan of Merritt, B.C., carded his best round of the week, 69, to finish in a tie for 39th. It was his first paycheque in four starts.

The 26-year-old Wilcox earned $117,000 and moved from No. 55 to No. 3 on the tour money list, putting him in solid position to finish among the top-25 on the money list as the schedule reached the one-third mark.
