Overview
- Penge birdied the first extra hole at Club de Campo after Daniel Brown forced sudden death with a birdie on 18 while receiving on-course treatment for a shoulder and neck issue.
- The triumph is Penge’s third DP World Tour title of 2025, following victories at the Hainan Classic and the Danish Golf Championship.
- As Spain’s national open now confers major exemptions, the win secures places at the 2026 Masters at Augusta National and the Open at Royal Birkdale.
- The result is set to lift Penge to No. 31 in the Official World Golf Ranking and to No. 2 in the Race to Dubai, essentially locking in a 2026 PGA Tour card.
- The breakthrough season follows a December 2024 betting suspension, and Penge has indicated he intends to play the PGA Tour next year.
