Wood eagles last for first Tour win

England's gentle giant Chris Wood finally grabbed his first European Tour title – and did it in brilliant fashion with a closing eagle at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in Doha.

After 19 top-10 finishes, the 25-year-old from Bristol was in danger of missing out again when a nervy start turned a three-stroke overnight lead into a two-shot deficit before the turn. Wood battled back, but came to the par-5 last behind Spanish star Sergio Garcia and South African George Coetzee.
