Marco Penge Wins Open de España in Playoff as Rahm Rallies Late in Madrid

The Englishman prevailed on the first extra hole to secure the title at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid.

Overview

  • Penge defeated compatriot Daniel Brown on the first playoff hole to claim the DP World Tour event in Madrid.
  • He had opened a clear advantage with a third-round 64 to reach 16 under, ultimately needing a playoff to finish the job.
  • Jon Rahm closed with seven birdies and one bogey to post 10 under overall after falling out of contention on Saturday.
  • Rahm admitted to “stupid mistakes” earlier in the week and said he intends to return to the tournament next year if it is staged.
  • Saturday’s notable moments included John Parry’s hole-in-one at the 17th to win a car, while Sergio García sat at three under and out of the hunt.
