Soren Hansen (71) had a one-shot lead until a double-bogey on the final 18th hole. Ross Fisher and James Kingston each shot 69 to also trail the leaders by one stroke.
Wood missed a birdie putt at the final hole that would have left him in sole possession of the lead.
Europe's Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie, without a top-10 finish since June of last year, had a 69 to finish six shots behind the leaders.
Bernhard Langer, seeking to become the oldest winner on the European tour at 52, watched his chances fade with a 75.
