Ryan Williams carded a 2-under 70 on Sunday to win the Woodland Golf Vancouver Golf Tour Championship by one stroke over Bryn Parry.

The two-day event was played Saturday and Sunday at Langley’s Pagoda Ridge. It was originally set for the weekend before, but a heavy rainstorm postponed the event.

It came down to the final hole, but Parry’s putt slid by the hole giving the 31-year-old Williams the victory.

Wiliams, a Hazelmere golf pro who also plays on the PGA Tour Canada, shot a 7-under par to pocket $2,500 of the $12,500 total purse.

He had shot an opening round 67 and trailed by one stroke heading into Sunday.

The event featured a total of 90 pros and amateurs.

A pair of Langley golfers — James Allenby and Darren Wallace — finished tied for eighth at 144.

The top amateur at the event was Vancouver’s Chris Moore, who shot 74-72—146.
