Wood on Majorca mission

Only four members of the world’s top 100 are playing at the European Tour’s event in Majorca this week – and three of them face each other in the opening two rounds.

England’s Chris Wood, fifth and third in the last two Open Championships and last season’s Rookie of the Year, plays with Ryder Cup Dane Soren Hansen and Spaniard Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano.

Just behind them is Swede Peter Hanson and all four will be looking at the Iberdrola Open Cala Millor Mallorca at Pula as a golden opportunity to register their first win of the year.
