Chris Wood came from five strokes behind to win the Lyoness Open on Sunday for his second European Tour title.

The Englishman had a bogey-free round of five-under 67 to finish on 15-under 273, two strokes clear of Rafa Cabrera-Bello of Spain.

Overnight leader Gregory Bourdy of France faltered, carding a 78 and dropping to a tie for sixth place. Cabrera-Bello, who was two strokes off the lead going into the final round, shot a 72.
