Mark Wiebe made his second Champions Tour title look easy.

Wiebe never was challenged in Sunday’s final round en route to winning the inaugural $2 million Cap Cana Championship.

Entering with a three-shot lead, Wiebe maintained his advantage with a 5-under-par 67 at the scenic Punta Espada Golf Club. He finished at 14-under 202, four shots clear of Vicente Fernandez (65).

Leading wire-to-wire, Wiebe won for the first time since the 2007 SAS Championship and pocketed the $300,000 first prize.

After a bogey-free round Saturday, Wiebe left little doubt that he would finish on top after playing his first nine holes at 4-under, highlighted by an eagle at the par-5 sixth hole.

Wiebe added birdies at Nos. 10 and 12, building a five-shot lead before his lone mistake, a double-bogey at the par-5 16th. However, he recovered with two pars around a birdie at No. 17.

Fernandez climbed up the leaderboard with the best round of the day. The Argentine was red-hot on the front nine, carding five straight birdies from Nos. 4-8, then added two more at Nos. 10 and 12 during his bogey-free effort.

Craig Stadler (67) and Jay Haas (68) tied for third at 9-under.

Since its launch in 1997, Golf International has forged a reputation as the standout quality title in golf publishing. The caliber of columnists, writers, players and coaches is unrivalled, while the design and layout of the magazine separates it still further from the competition. In a congested market wrought with mediocrity, Golf International appeals to committed golfers who are as serious about their game as we are about ours.

The ethos behind Golf International is simple: our aim is to entertain, inform and educate our readers with a wide range of fresh and original editorial. Peter Alliss, Ian Wooldridge, Colin Callander, Tom Cox, Paul Mahoney, Clive Agran and John Huggan are listed among our regular columnists. Other notable contributors include Paul Trow and David Davies. We are particularly proud of our association with the teaching staff of the DLGA, who, under the guidance of the world’s No.1 coach – David Leadbetter – provide some of the finest instruction you will find anywhere. Monty’s coach, Denis Pugh, is another regular contributor, as is leading European Tour coach, Peter Cowen, and one of the world’s most innovative instructors, Robert Baker. The popular Senior Tour player, Tony Johnstone, has also made Golf International his literary home.

With the generous and on-going support of Volvo Car UK, we are committed to developing our Amateur pages, featuring regular profiles, interviews and tournament news from both the men’s and women’s amateur game. Another innovation has been our Business pages, which provide the magazine with a unique angle on business-related stories, along with regular features from our resident experts on golfing memorabilia (Kevin McGimpsey), betting (Jeremy Chapman) and motoring (Anthony ffrench-Constant). We hope you enjoy the magazine and invite you to be a part of our continued success.

With a new distribution partner – Comag – in place from the August ’06 issue (and already delivering a significant increase in newsstand sales), we will be raising our game in the retail sector while at the same time consolidating our position as the premium title in the air and selected-sponsorship sectors.
