Wentworth king Wood eyes Ryder Cup debut

VIRGINIA WATER, England -- If at first you don't succeed, try again.

On his BMW PGA Championship debut in 2010, Chris Wood led by two after day three at Wentworth before a final-round 77 saw the then 22-year-old forced to settle for a tie for 6th place -- a tumble down the leaderboard that cost him his maiden European Tour title and around half a million pounds in prize money.

The following year yielded a missed cut for Wood. But there aren't many who work harder than the 6-foot-5 Bristolian. Indeed, Danny Willett once said in an interview that he and Wood were always the first in the gym each morning.
