BMW PGA Championship 2016: Final Leaderboard Scores, Prize Money Payouts

Chris Wood survived a late scare to clinch the 2016 BMW PGA Championship crown on Sunday in Surrey, United Kingdom, where a fourth-round score of 69 saw him shoot up the standings and win by one shot at nine under.  

The Bristolian sealed the third European Tour win of his career after entering the final day tied for fifth, shooting up the standings alongside runner-up Rikard Karlberg, who recorded a joint-tournament best of seven under to finish second.

Former leaders Danny Willett and Yang Yong-eun notched fourth-round scores of one under and three over par, respectively, with the former settling for third place, two shots behind the winner.

Wood took home the winner’s prize fund of €833,330 (£633,000) from the total €5 million (£3.8 million) pool in Surrey. Karlberg claimed the second spot, finishing just a single shot adrift of the champion in the end.
