Chris Wood has attempted to downplay his chances as he prepares to defend his Lyoness Open title at Diamond Country Club, live on Sky Sports.
Travis Shaw Jersey . Wood claimed his second European Tour title in Atzenbrugg 12 months ago, a closing 67 giving him a
two-shot victory over Spains Rafael Cabrera-Bello.The world No 23 returns to
Austria on a high after winning the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth a
fortnight ago to vault himself into contention for a Ryder Cup debut at
Hazeltine in September. Of course I should probably feel unbeatable this week,
after the win at Wentworth and coming back here as defending champion, said the
28-year-old from Bristol. Wood claimed more silverware at Wentworth last month
But anyone who knows golf will know that its a game where everything can change
week by week.You never feel like youre unbeatable, so youve always got to keep
on top of things and not get ahead of yourself because golf will bite you back
very quickly. Its a new week this week and Im here to compete and hopefully do
well. Chris Wood helps us recap the best bits on and off the course from last
week at the Nordea Masters Coming back as a defending champion is a great
feeling and obviously you come back with great memories from last year. With
that comes a little bit of added pressure but obviously I know I can play well
around this course, so hopefully I can give it as good a run as I gave it last
year.Ive got to beat some good players this week though. Obviously its hard to
win any event on the European Tour. Its four days of golf against some great
players. 2016 BMW PGA champion Chris Wood looks back on his tournament and says
to win with his family there was amazing One of the Englishmans main rivals is
likely to be home favourite Bernd Wiesberger, who won the title in 2012 and was
second in 2014, although the Austrian has yet to record a top-10 finish on the
European Tour this season.I wanted to be fresh for my home event so I had a
couple of days off in Vienna, the world No 47 said.I used the time to play 18
holes here on Tuesday and had a good look at the course and what its going to be
like. I built that into my practice with my coach last week at home. Bernd
Wiesberger is hoping for another home victory at the Lyoness Open Everybody -
from the Swedish guys last week, the English guys at Wentworth - wants to play
in front of their home crowds and also in front of family and friends. They will
be here this week for me too in good numbers so that motivates you on top of the
fact that its your home event.Im looking forward to it, hopefully the weather
will be good for us and the course is in good shape so its all set for a good
tournament.Even though my focus is on this week, its also great preparation for
whats ahead in Oakmont [for next weeks US Open]. Im expecting a tough battle
over there but thats also the kind of course for which my game is well-suited.
