BMW PGA Championship win for Simon Khan
Simon Khan produced a superb final round of 66 for a shock one-shot win in the PGA Championship at Wentworth. He scored a shock victory at the PGA Championship on Sunday, becoming the first invited player to win the European Tour’s flagship event.
The 37-year-old Englishman, ranked 471 in the world, was a late invite to the event on Monday, and began the final day in a share of 13th seven shots off the lead. He began the final round seven shots behind Chris Wood on one under par. This breaks the Championship record for the biggest final round winning comeback, beating the six of Maurice Bembridge in 1974. Khan finished on -6, 278, to win by one stroke ahead from Fredrik Andersson Hed (67) of Sweden and England’s Luke Donald who both finished on -5, 279.
This is the third English victory of the 2010 season including Ian Poulter (WGC – Accenture Match Play), James Morrison (Madeira Islands Open BPI – Portugal) and now Simon Khan (BMW PGA Championship).
