Wood victorious at Wentworth

VIRGINIA WATER, England -- Chris Wood produced a record-equalling performance to claim the biggest win of his career at the BMW PGA Championship and get within touching distance of securing a Ryder Cup debut.

Wood carded a closing 69 at Wentworth to finish nine under par, a shot ahead of Sweden's Rikard Karlberg, whose 65 equalled the lowest score of the week and included a hole-in-one on the second.

The 28-year-old from Bristol started the day three shots off the lead held by Australia's Scott Hend, but raced to the turn in 29 to match the tournament record set by Masters champion Danny Willett on Friday.
