With a record-equalling front nine 29 in the final round on Wentworth’s West Course, Englishman Wood held firm on the home stretch to claim victory by one shot (-9) from Swede Rikard Karlberg with Mizuno in his bag and also on his back. Wood trusted his Mizuno Grain Flow Forged irons and wedges to see him home when the pressure was at its highest.  On the 72^nd hole, the par 5 18^th, Wood played his sand wedge twice from the fairway to guarantee par and seal the win.
