Christopher Wood has won the Abbot Point Operations Bowen Pro-Am by two strokes to kick-start his Hidden Valley Whitsundays North Queensland Series campaign.
The Queenslander fired a spectacular round of 6-under 64 at the picturesque Bowen Golf Club to lead four players tied for second place in the first event of a series of four held on the adidas PGA Pro-Am Series.
The field of 24 PGA Professionals was met with testing conditions and constant 30 kilometer an hour winds that created a challenge in shot making and smart play.
In a round featuring seven birdies, an eagle and three bogeys Wood said his short game was what made the difference.

The event will include mini learn-to-sail courses for adults and children, a sailing expo, stalls, live music and activities for children such as backyard cricket.
