Tough bunker lies see Wiggins fall back

After shooting a 70 to open his tournament, Yukon's Jeff Wiggins endured a difficult second round yesterday at the 2013 PGA鈥圕lub Professional Championship of Canada in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
Wiggins shot a round of 75, which he called "just OK鈥� by his standards.
"I had three balls that got extremely plugged in bunkers during today's round,鈥� he said in an email to the Star yesterday. "All three were almost unplayable. Those three unfortunate breaks cost me four strokes.鈥�
Sitting at four-over on the 11th hole, a frustrated and disappointed Wiggins had "a little chit-chat鈥� with himself on his way to the 12th hole, and refocused to go one-under through the last seven holes.
While he made the cut, he knows he "lost quite a bit of ground鈥� on the leaders.
Wiggins, Mountain View Golf Club's director of golf, is competing in his third straight national championship, and entered this particular event with expectations of a top-10 finish.
Entering his final round on the Ryder Course tied for 33rd, he knows he needs luck on his side.
"I鈥坵ill give it 100 per cent and hope a few breaks go my way, and with a little luck, achieve the goal of top 10 or 15,鈥� he said.
