Chris Wood has taken full advantage of a lucky break in a sudden-death playoff to edge out fellow Australian James Marchesani at the NSW Open and claim the most important victory of his professional career.
The 32-year-old Queenslander drained a six-foot birdie putt on the fourth playoff hole at the Vintage GC in the Hunter Valley on Sunday to edge out former US collegiate star Marchesani, who had mishit his approach shot with a wedge.
