LONDON (Reuters) - It has taken some time but Chris Wood finally delivered on the potential he showed when finishing fifth as an amateur at the 2008 British Open by winning the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.

The beanpole Englishman's one-stroke victory at the European Tour's flagship event on Sunday sent him rocketing from 54th to 22nd in the world rankings and went a long way towards clinching a debut Ryder Cup appearance in September.
