The European Tour rolled into England last week for its flagship event, The BMW Championship at Wentworth. Although a rather depleted field at the prestigious Surrey course, there was still lots of home-grown talent on show with Masters champion Danny Willett the headline act. After being 12-under-par for his first 27 holes, including a front nine of 29 shots on Friday, Willett endured yet another frustrating weekend as several bogeys left him wondering what might have been. But one man’s loss is another’s gain – enter Chris Wood. The 28-year-old surged into the lead come Sunday afternoon after he matched Willett’s record-breaking six-under-par front nine from Friday, to lead by four. However, his momentum was severely halted after dropping three shots in four holes from the 14th, finding himself just one clear playing the 72nd hole. Wood revealed in his post-round interview that he hadn’t looked at the leaderboards all day, and it wasn’t until his caddy asked him to go SW, SW into the final hole that he realised the situation. A comfortable par gave Wood the biggest win of his career, with a place in the European Ryder Cup team now a very real target for the Englishman.

Here’s what Wood had in his bag…

Driver – Callaway Great Big Bertha (9 degree)
Fairway woods – Mizuno JPX 3-wood (15 degree); Callaway XR 16 5-wood
Irons – Mizuno MP-25 (3 & 4-irons); Mizuno MP-5 (5-PW)
Wedges – Mizuno MP-T5 (52, 56 & 60 degrees)
Putter – Odyssey Versa
Ball – Titleist Pro V1x
Clothing – Mizuno apparel

Finally, Jordan Spieth has ended his ‘four-month drought’ with victory in the Dean & Dulca Invitational on Sunday. The American headed into the final round of the latest PGA Tour event with a one-shot lead, determined not to replicate his Masters collapse where he blew a five-shot lead on the back nine. This time it was completely different. Spieth came in with six birdies on his back nine, comfortably winning his home tournament by three shots. There were certainly fireworks to finish as Jordan holed a 20-foot breaker on 16 for birdie, chipped in for birdie at the 17th and blew his opponents away when he holed a 35-foot birdie putt at the last. Three birdies in the final three holes. What nerves?

This win means that the ‘big three’ (Day, Spieth and McIlroy) have all won on their last outing….let the battle for the US Open commence.

Here’s what Spieth used en-route to victory…

Driver – Titleist 915D2 (9.5 degree)
Fairway woods – Titleist 915F (15 degree)
Irons – Titleist 716 T-MB 3-iron; Titleist AP2 (4-9-iron)
Wedges – Vokey SM6 (46, 52, 56 & 60 degrees)
Putter – Scotty Cameron
Ball – Titleist Pro V1x
Clothing – Under Armour apparel
