Marco Penge Pulls Four Clear at Spanish Open as Rahm Slips Back

His third-round 64 built a four-shot cushion entering a Sunday finish that awards the winner berths to next year’s Masters and The Open.

Overview

  • England’s Marco Penge reached 16-under after eight birdies in a 7-under 64, rebounding from an early bogey to extend his lead.
  • Switzerland’s Joel Girrbach is four back, with England’s Daniel Brown and Patrick Reed five behind and Tom McKibbin six adrift after three rounds.
  • Jon Rahm carded a 71 with a double bogey to fall 12 shots off the pace in a tie for 28th, denting his bid for a record fourth Spanish Open title.
  • Shane Lowry missed the cut by one after rounds of 75 and 68 and later posted that he was “gutted” on X.
  • This year’s Spanish Open winner will, for the first time, receive automatic entry into next year’s Masters and The Open.
