Briton Wood in pole position to land his maiden victory

WENTWORTH (England): Chris Wood, who burst on to the scene with top-five finishes at the 2008 and 2009 British Opens, was in pole position to land his maiden victory after the PGA Championship third round yesterday.

The tall, mop-haired Briton rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt at the 16th before playing a delicate greenside bunker shot to within inches of the cup at the last to save his par and record a 67 for 205, eight under par.
