Wood and Gomez victorious

Vienna

Chris Wood played one of the best rounds of his injury-hit career to power to the second European Tour title of his career at the Lyoness Open in Austria.

 The Bristol pro, who was sidelined for five months after breaking a bone in his wrist last October, took advantage of a final-day collapse from long-time leader Gregory Bourdy to clinch a two-shot win in testing conditions at the Diamond Country Club in Atzenbrugg.

 Wood made five birdies and kept a bogey off his card in a composed five-under 67 for a winning score of 15 under, two clear of Rafa Cabrera-Bello and five ahead of fellow Englishmen Robert Rock, Robert Dinwiddie and Matthew Fitzpatrick.

 Bourdy started the final day with a two-stroke advantage, and he looked in confident form as he birdied the first only to pull his tee-shot at the short second into the water and run up a double-bogey five.

As the Frenchman faded, Wood applied the pressure when he followed birdies at two of the first three holes with another at the sixth, and he soon found himself as the outright leader when Cabrera-Bello bogeyed three straight around the turn and Bourdy blotted his card again at the 11th.

 But Wood held his nerve to close with a pair of solid pars, and the Spaniard was unable to find a birdie over the last two holes and had to settle for a level-par 72 and outright second place - his best finish of the season.

 On the PGA Tour Fabian Gomez cruised to his first PGA Tour title at the FedEx St Jude Classic as Greg Owen paid the price for crucial back-nine mistakes on the final day in Memphis.

Gomez pulled away from the Englishman with a faultless inward 32 and capped a comprehensive four-shot victory in style with a 30-foot putt for his fourth birdie of the round and a closing 66 to post a winning score of 13 under par
