American Zach Johnson won his fourth tour title, finishing at 19 under par two shots ahead of Wilkinson, Charlie Wi of Korea and American Mark Wilson.
Wilkinson, who shot a final round six under 64, says he probably played a little too conservatively in the final few holes as he tried to catch Johnson.
