WENTWORTH, England (AP) — Chris Wood of England shot a 4-under 67 Saturday to take a two-shot lead into the final round of the BMW PGA Championship.
Robert Karlsson of Sweden shot a course-record 62 for the lowest round since the European PGA event was first played in 1955 at Wentworth, England. He’s two strokes behind Wood in a tie for second with Danny Willett (70).
Karlsson flew home to Monaco on Friday thinking he’d missed the cut at 3 over. He got a phone call saying he’d be playing on the weekend. He flew to Paris, slept for two hours, then paid $11,000 for a private jet to take him to London, arriving at the course an hour before tee time.
The 22-year-old Wood has top-five finishes at the last two British Opens, and is looking for his first European Tour victory.
