Overview
- Grant Forrest closed with a birdie at the reachable par‑4 18th to finish 14‑under 270 and win the Open de España by one shot.
- Joe Dean surged into contention with a third‑round 6‑under 65 that left him co‑leader after 54 holes but he could not catch Forrest in the final round.
- Eugenio Chacarra played through a reported fractured toe and staged a late charge to finish tied for second with Victor Perez.
- Forrest’s win is his third on the DP World Tour and follows a run of poor form in which he had missed the cut in eight of his previous nine events.
- The result grants Forrest national‑open invitations that move his major schedule and also reshuffles Race to Dubai standings with longer‑term implications for players chasing PGA Tour access.
