Kamaiu Johnson wins APGA Tour stop at TPC Las Vegas for second year in a row

For Kamaiu Johnson, it was lucky number two in Las Vegas.

Johnson won the Advocates Professional Golf Association’s stop at TPC Las Vegas Tuesday for the second year in a row. It’s also his third win on the circuit.

The two-day, 36-hole event was cut to just a single day of competition after Monday’s first round was called off due to extreme winds that reached 60 MPH in parts of the city.

Johnson shot a 71 Tuesday, two shots ahead of Aaron Beverly, Joseph Hooks, and Willie Mack III.

The key moment for Johnson came on the 591-yard, par-5 15th hole, where he holed out for eagle from 133 yards.

“It bounced a couple of times and then rolled in,” Johnson added. “I saw it the whole way.”

Last week, Johnson and Mack made the trip to Augusta National for the Masters.

The APGA Tour’s next stop will be TPC Scottsdale for a 36-hole tournament Monday and Tuesday.
