SON SERVERA, Spain (AP) — Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke rallied from four shots down to win the Iberdrola Open by three strokes Sunday after overnight leader Chris Wood stumbled on the back nine.

Clarke shot a 1-under 69 to finish at 6-under 274.

Wood held a comfortable margin over Clarke and Shane Lowry (74) going into Sunday’s final round at the Pula golf course, but a terrible back nine cost the English player his first European Tour victory.

Wood’s 6-over 76 left him tied with runner-up David Lynn (70) of England.

The 42-year-old Clarke takes home a $235,000 paycheck with his 13th career European win and first since 2008.
