DANIELS, W.Va. — Mason Williams has enjoyed a wealth of success golfing around the world.

One of the more notable omissions from his resume was a West Virginia Open title.

No more.

Williams carded seven birdies and shot a final round 4-under par 68 Friday on Stonehaven Course, overcoming a one-shot deficit to start the day to finish the three-round event at 10-under for a three-shot victory at The Resort At Glade Springs.

Williams entered Friday’s final round one shot back of Ryan Bilby. Three years ago, the two were tied entering the final round of the West Virginia Open at Berry Hills Country Club, before Bilby shot a 65 to top Williams by two shots.

“He won the last one, I won this one,” Williams said. “He’s a really great competitor and that was a really fun day. The ups and downs were insane. It was a lot of fun to do it with him.”

A birdie on the first hole allowed Bilby to double his lead, though it went back to one shot after a three-putt bogey on the par 3 second.

Williams, who missed a good look at birdie on No. 2, found his rhythm on the green shortly after and made three consecutive birdies, including one at the par-5 fourth hole from about 40 feet.

“Just kind of found a good line and tried to hit a good putt. I don’t think there was anything real specific,” Williams said. “These greens were definitely a little faster than they were the first round, which is when I played Stonehaven last. I spent a little extra time hitting putts this morning on the putting green, because the greens are a bit different. But I think I kind of got the speed down this morning and went from there.”

After the birdie at No. 5, Williams, a Bridgeport native, held a two-shot lead. Despite making bogey at both the sixth and seventh holes, Bilby did the same, allowing Williams to maintain his lead of two.

“A couple wayward shots here and there cost me,” Bilby said. “I hit it out of bounds on 7 and that was kind of a killer.”

At that point, David Bradshaw was also well in the mix, having made a birdie at No. 4 and par on six of his other first seven holes, leaving the successful veteran three back of Williams and one behind Bilby.

Williams, who plays full time on PGA Tour Americas, steadied his round with consecutive pars to finish off the front nine, before getting hot again to start the back.

Despite a wayward drive that led to a punch out at the par-5 10th, Williams hit his third shot to about 10 feet and rolled in the birdie, allowing him to stay ahead by two shots.

Williams and Bilby both made birdie at 11, while Bradshaw hit his tee shot on the par-3 12th to inside 5 feet and made his third birdie of the round on that hole. That moved Bradshaw to 3-under on the day, three shots back of Williams and tied with Bilby at 6-under after the Follansbee native made bogey on that hole.

Williams made yet another birdie on No. 13 after driving the green and two-putting, allowing him to take what looked to be a commanding four-shot lead, while Bradshaw made his first bogey of the round on that hole to fall five back.

“You have to hit good shots off the tee in order to have a chance to make a birdie,” Williams said. “And then the greens are a little bit smaller than Cobb, but they present a little bit bigger challenge. I thought it was a great course.”

However, his advantage was cut in half on No. 14 after Williams hit a poor tee shot and had to punch out, leading to a bogey. Bilby, meanwhile, stuck his approach to inside 10 feet and made the birdie putt to pull to within two shots at 7-under.

Both Williams and Bilby made par on No. 15, though the latter made birdie on the par-5 16th after having a reasonable look for eagle, allowing him to pull to within one shot as Williams settled for par.

“You can never give up in this game,” Bilby said. “It’s such a hard game and you never know what can happen. I took it one shot at a time, tried to birdie every hole and be as aggressive as I could down the stretch. I’m happy with how I played. It was a good week. Yesterday was great and the first round was great. Today wasn’t as great, but I put a good score up there and it was a good week.”

With a chance to add more pressure late in the round, however, Bilby’s tee shot on the par-3 17th found a bunker, while Williams hit his safely on the green to about 35 feet.

Bilby was unable to get up-and-down for par, while Williams two-putted to give him at two-shot lead with one hole left.

While a par would’ve been plenty good enough for the win on No. 18, Williams did one better, making a putt from about 10 feet to get to 10-under and seal the victory.

“I really just hit one bad tee shot on 14. I chipped out, hit a good one and almost made the putt,” Williams said. “He made birdie and it was just kind of one of those timely birdies. But I just tried to keep hitting good shots and keep doing my thing. It’s almost like you have to play the golf course like you’re just playing on a Saturday and not really trying to beat somebody specifically in that moment.”

Immediately after wrapping up the win, Williams wrapped his arms around his mother Tina as the two shared a warm and emotional embrace just off the green.

Williams’ father, the late Dr. Robert Duncan Williams, passed away in August of 2023 and would’ve turned 75 on July 27.

“It was a sigh of relief. He’s the one who got me into the game and kind of taught me how to play and made it possible for me to play,” Williams said. “We were lucky enough to build a house at Pete Dye Golf Club in Bridgeport and I’ve lived there ever since I was born. Just to have the resources made available to me and the guidance he’s given me are undefeated. We just shared a hug of missing him very much.”

Bilby finished solo second at 7-under and two shots ahead of Bradshaw.

Cam Roam was fourth and low amateur for the event at 3-under, while Davey Jude and Carson Higginbotham, the low junior, were tied for fifth at 1-under.

Todd Duncan and Argyle Downes finished even and in a two-way tie for seventh. 

Logan Lagodich and Lucas Cromenees rounded out the top 10 finishers at 1-over.
