New Zealand's Ryan Fox
WENTWORTH, AFP: New Zealand's Ryan Fox won the BMW PGA Championship with a superb final-round fightback to ruin the title dreams of rising star Ludvig Aberg at Wentworth on Sunday.
Fox began the day three shots behind overnight leader Aberg and a triple-bogey seven on the third hole appeared to have taken him out of contention.
But the 36-year-old covered his last 13 holes in eight under par for a closing 67.
Fox's 18-under-par final total gave him a one-shot victory over playing partner Aaron Rai and Tyrrell Hatton.
World number three Jon Rahm, who had been runner-up on each of his two previous appearances at Wentworth, carded a 68 to claim fourth place on 16 under.
