VIRGINIA WATER, England, May 28 (Reuters) - Australian Scott Hend sprinted to the top of the BMW PGA Championship leaderboard on Saturday, taking full advantage as overnight pacesetter Danny Willett's title challenge unravelled in spectacular style.
The back nine at Wentworth is unlikely to go down as U.S. Masters winner Willett's favourite piece of land after he suffered on the inward half for the second successive day.
The 28-year-old Englishman marred a tournament-record 29 on the outward half on Friday by plunging to a 39 on the homeward trek and fared two strokes worse on that stretch of holes in the third round, taking 41 shots to finish with a four-over 76.
