DOHA (REUTERS) - Britain's Chris Wood was beginning to wonder if he would ever end his title drought before he finally made the breakthrough in the Qatar Masters at the weekend.
It was a case of third time lucky for the 1.96m Wood after he had twice previously gone into the closing day of a European Tour event at the summit of the leaderboard only to slip down the field in the final round.
The 25-year-old had also amassed 19 top-10 finishes without once entering the winner's circle.
"I was starting to have little doubts that I would ever win," Wood said after climbing into the top 60 of the world rankings from No. 142.
