WOOD EYES DUTCH TREAT

CHRIS WOOD will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the KLM Open today after an excellent late burst of scoring on day three in Holland.

The Englishman came home in 31 to sign for a 65 and edge ahead of countryman Jonathan Thomson, Japan’s Hideto Tanihara and China’s Wu Ashun.

The 2016 Ryder Cup star has three wins on the European Tour but a fourth looked a long way off as he bogeyed the second to sit six shots behind early GOLF

leader Thomson in Spijk. A lay-up and an excellent pitch into the par-five sixth started the comeback and he played the

13th, 15th and last in similar fashion, adding further birdies on the seventh,

10th and 12th to get his nose in front. Wood said: “I’m pleasantly surprised. My target was 15 under for the tournament so I’m going to look a little bit differently at that now.”
