Norman David Wood (8 January 1947 – 17 May 2023) was a Scottish professional golfer. He won the 1972 Italian Open and played in the 1975 Ryder Cup.

Professional career

Wood turned professional in 1965 and was an assistant at Turnberry. He won the Scottish Assistants' Championship in 1968, beating David Webster in a playoff.[1]

Wood played on the European Tour in the 1970s. His sole win on the European Tour came at the 1972 Italian Open where he beat Brian Huggett by two strokes.[2] He also played outside of Europe during the off-season, winning the Jamaica Open in December 1973.[3] In March 1973 he lost to Ben Arda in a playoff for the Singapore Open and at the 1974 Australian Open he was runner-up to Gary Player.[4][5]

In 1975 Wood finished a career-best 18th on the Order of Merit and played in the Ryder Cup. Wood had a good start to the season, finishing joint runner-up in the Madrid Open, an event reduced to 36 holes by bad weather.[6] He was also sixth in the Portuguese Open and the French Open and 14th in the Penfold PGA Championship. The good results at the start of the season put Wood in the top eight of the Ryder Cup points to gain an automatic place in team.[7] The 1975 Ryder Cup was held at Laurel Valley Golf Club in September. Wood lost his two pairs matches but defeated Lee Trevino 2&1 in his singles match. In 1975 Wood also lost to David Huish in a playoff for the Scottish Professional Championship and made his one appearance for Scotland in the World Cup that year, playing with Brian Barnes, after Bernard Gallacher withdrew.[8][9][10]

In May 1976 Wood, playing with Maurice Bembridge, lost in a playoff for the Sumrie-Bournemouth Better-Ball. Wood and Bembridge held a 5 stroke lead after 54 holes but were caught by Eamonn Darcy and Christy O'Connor Jnr who had a final round 62. Darcy and O'Connor won the playoff at the third extra hole after Darcy holed a 40-foot putt.[11] After 1976 Wood's performances dropped off and he played less on the European Tour.

Back problems forced Wood to become a club professional. He worked at the Sandy Lane resort in Barbados starting in 1978 and the Royal Guernsey Golf Club in Guernsey from 1982 until retiring at the end of 2007.[10][12]

After turning 50, Wood played part-time on the European Seniors Tour for several seasons from 1997 to 2006. His best result was to finish in solo third place in the 1997 Manadens Affarer Seniors Open in Sweden.

Death

Wood died in Guernsey on 17 May 2023 at the age of 76.[13][14][15]
