For a shocking fifth time in 2008, Englishman Oliver Wilson has had to settle for a second-place finish. 
He was pipped to the HSBC Champions crown in Shanghai by Sergio Garcia with the Spaniard overcoming his rival in a play-off at the Sheshan Golf Club.
Wilson is in danger of becoming the ‘nearly man’ of the pro tour and he needs to start converting these winning positions in to trophies sooner rather than later.
Garcia made a birdie at the final hole to force the play-off and then repeated the trick on the second time of asking at the same hole to clinch a victory.
The Spaniard’s win has seen him rise to second place in the world rankings behind Tiger Woods, whereas Wilson’s second-placed did help him to move up to 42nd in the world, which will earn him a place at next April’s US Masters in Augusta.
But why is it Wilson can’t seem to get a win? Is he a bottler? Many great golfers have had all the skill in the world, but when push comes to shove, the pressure mounts and the putts don’t sink.
One bright spot for Wilson is the fact that the ladies love him. Why you ask? Well, he always comes second…
Anyway, let’s hope for Oliver’s sake that he breaks his duck as soon as possible!
