Julian Wilson has been a card-carrying member of the World Title contender conversation for years now, but the Australian veteran has had a tough time cracking the code at the highest level on the Championship Tour. However, this year something seems to be clicking because, as we warned you last week, Wilson is heating up. After a 5th place in Fiji and another 3rd place at J-Bay, he advanced into the Final of the Billabong Pro Tahiti on Sunday, where he pulled an amazing come-from-behind victory in the final five minutes of the event. The win, along with this kind of run, can do wonders for the confidence, and with Wilson now sitting at No. 5 on the Jeep Leaderboard, and being a former Pipe Master, you can bet he'll be scratching all the way to the end.
