Wentworth's unique finish could produce fireworks in BMW PGA final round

VIRGINIA WATER, England – It’s 1,131 yards of claustrophobic chaos that annually makes any round on Wentworth’s West Course a study in diminishing returns.

It’s a rarity in golf, at least golf at the professional level, to finish a round with back-to-back par 5s – and conventional wisdom suggests the birdie opportunities would create one-way traffic. But as three days of trial and error have proven, Wentworth’s finish is not a pushover.

For every Ross Fisher, who holed his second shot from 225 yards on the 18th hole for an albatross on Saturday at the BMW PGA Championship, there’s a Jon Rahm, who was cruising along with a two-stroke lead when he reached the penultimate tee.
