Narrative:

Engine over speed. RPM jumped to between 3;200-3;300 RPM. Reduced throttle to keep RPM within limits and speed decayed 35-40 knots. Requested vectors to nearest field. Diverted to the airport and landed safely. Suspect propellor governor failure. Aircraft awaiting maintenance evaluation.
