Chris Wood is pictured above at the 2008 Open at Royal Birkdale. He enjoyed
a truly memorable week;
rounds of 75-70-73-72 seeing him finish in 5th
place alongside Jim Furyk in what were extremely challenging weather
conditions. Wood's 5th place finish also saw him claim the silver medal as
the leading amateur.
He later commented: "I've worked really hard for this
so I feel like I deserve everything I've achieved,
but this does cap a
pretty amazing year for me."
