Chris Wood sealed his third and biggest ever European Tour win at the weekend at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.

The Bristolian played the front-nine in 29 and despite a three-over-par back nine he clinched the title by a stroke at nine-under.

On the PGA Tour, Jordan Spieth birdied the final three holes to win his first PGA Tour title in his home state of Texas.
