Chris Wood paid the price for a double bogey on the back nine as Wu Ashun held his nerve to win the KLM Open.
Wood, who took a one-shot lead into the final round, was on course for a fourth European Tour title after opening up a three-stroke advantage in Spijk.
But he dropped two shots on the 12th hole and Wu took advantage to claim victory by a single stroke on 16 under par.

Wood carried a one shot advantage into the final round but could not hold on in Holland
'I am so happy,' Wu told Sky Sports Golf.
'It was beautiful weather this week too and a lot of good golf played here and I like this golf course very much.
'We fixed my swing at the beginning of the year and we still trust that we are going the right way.
'My coach and me are working very hard and he has flown to Czech Republic and Denmark to help me so I think we are getting better and better; so that's why I think last week was top 10 (in Switzerland) and then this week just win.
'I was happy to have my name on it.'
Ashun finished on 16 under par and held his nerve to hold off the field in his final round
Wood clawed a shot back with a birdie at the 13th, only for Wu to storm into a one-stroke clubhouse lead with gains at the 14th, 15th and the last for a final round of 67.
That meant the Englishman needed a birdie at the par-five 18th to force a play-off, and it looked like he could snatch victory as he reached the green in two.
However, Wood raced his eagle putt past the hole and onto the fringe and his second attempt missed the left edge of the cup to hand Wu his third European Tour victory.
Japan's Hideto Tanihara and Belgium's Thomas Detry finished tied for third on 14 under par, with three-time major champion Padraig Harrington one shot further adrift to round off the top five.
Wood's putt on the 18th missed left and he'd have forced a play-off if it had dropped in

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
