Chris Wood secured his first European Tour victory at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.

The lanky 25-year-old from England slept on a three-stroke lead last night. After opening with pars at 1 and 2, he double-bogeyed the par-3 third to swing the door open for challengers. George Coetzee and Sergio Garcia would capitalize, posting a 65 and 66, respectively, but Wood eventually recovered thanks to an eagle conversion from 10 feet at the par-5 18th hole. When it dropped, he clipped Coetzee and Garcia by one stroke with an aggregate of 18-under-par 67-70-64-69=270. "There’s an enormous weight lifted off my shoulders today," Wood said. "I feel like I can go on and win more. I knew it was going to be hard no matter how I played - winning on The European Tour is not easy. I've been knocking on the door in previous times and it's not happened. To get it today, to get my first win, it's such an honour. I'm so pleased." While his world ranking will skyrocket, the victory already exempts him into the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational in August.

Chris Wood withdrew from this week's SAS Masters in Sweden due to a wrist injury.

ESPNStar.com has reported that the injury occurred when Wood attempted a shot from the rough at Turnberry on Sunday. Cameras caught the jarring blow after which he was seen shaking his right wrist. Despite his T-3 at the British, the European Tour rookie isn't on the U.S. radar just yet, but we're aware that many fantasy formats include the goings-on overseas. He won't go on our injury list, but you definitely want to make a note of how long he rests.

Chris Wood carded a final round of 3-under-par 67 and finished in a tie with Lee Westwood for third place at the British Open.

It's not often that you see a player win the silver medal for the low amatuer and then the next year have a chance to win the gold medal, but Wood had the opportunity today. He has just birdied the par-5 17th hole and was a stroke off the lead, however his approach at the 18th went through the green. His recover shot left him an 18-foot putt to save par, but the putt just slid by the hole causing him to drop back to 1-under-par for the tournament and missing a playoff by a single stroke. Still, it was a great finish and the Top 4 result earns him an invitation to next year's Masters.

Less than one week following his T-5 at the British Open, Chris Wood has decided to turn professional.

The lanky Brit seemed resolute to retain his amateur status immediately following the tournament, suggesting he was hopeful to compete in the Walker Cup and the British and U.S. Amateurs, but was influenced to play for pay by three touring pros, including Darren Clarke. "If I was going to play amateur golf for another year, I'm not sure that I would be in a better position than I am now," said Wood. He leaves the amateur world ranked #2 behind Oklahoma State University's Rickie Fowler.
