A four-under-par 67 was not enough for Australian Mark Hensby to overhaul overnight leader Franklin Langham on the final day of the Utah EnergySolutions Championship. Hensby began the day tied for fifth on 13-under, four shots behind Langham, who did not let a bogey on the first get the better of him in the final round. The American recovered from his slow start to fire birdies on the 3rd, 9th, 14th and 16th to win the Nationwide Tour event by two shots from Welshman Richard Johnson (68). Hensby tied for third with American Chris Tidland on 17-under. New Zealander Tim Wilkinson was the next best-placed Australasian, finishing tied for 20th with Australian Aron Price. Australian trio Matthew Jones (67), Scott Gardiner (69) and David McKenzie (69) were part of a group on 10-under in 30th position.
