It was the second round that separated Thornberry, where only two players in the field managed a round of 70 while Thornberry posted a 67, which proved to be low round for the tournament. He birdied five of six holes on the inward nine on Wednesday to put himself in position to end 2015 with a win on Thursday. An even-par final round of 71 at Arizona’s Wigwam Resort gave him a one-stroke win over third round leader Adam Wood of Duke University.
