Chris Wood (golfer)

Christopher James Wood (born 26 November 1987) is an English professional golfer who currently plays on the European Tour.

He was the low amateur in the 2008 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale and tied for third in the following year's tournament held at Turnberry.

[6] In November he gained his European Tour card for 2009 by finishing in a tie for 5th at qualifying school held at PGA Golf de Catalunya near Girona, Spain; "I've worked really hard for this so I feel like I deserve everything I've achieved, but this does cap a pretty amazing year for me," he said.

A superb final round at Turnberry in the 2009 Open Championship put Wood in contention for his first major win.

A birdie at the final hole would have sufficed but Wood's approach took a hard bounce and ran through the green.

"[8] Thanks to his performance at the Open, Wood qualified for the Dubai World Championship and was named the European Tour's rookie of the year.

"[9] In June 2015, Wood won his second European tour title at the Lyoness Open with a two-stroke victory over Rafa Cabrera-Bello.

In May, Wood won the 2016 BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club; the win lifted him at the 22nd place of the Official World Golf Ranking and guaranteed him an automatic selection for the 2016 Ryder Cup.
