Both players finished tied at 13 under par after contrasting final rounds, with Wood carding a one-under 71 while Crockett fired a three-under 69 to force the extra holes.
Returning to the par-five 18th, Crockett putted first but saw his birdie effort slide agonizingly wide. Wood, who had struck a two-iron from the semi-rough to set up a 1.8-meter downhill birdie putt, then converted to claim his second MENA Golf Tour title of the season.
The victory moves Wood back to the top of the MENA Golf Tour Rankings, leapfrogging Italy’s Ludovico Addabbo who finished in a share of 22nd at two under par.
