Angel Hidalgo Clinches Spanish Open Title

Posted : 30 September 2024

Angel Hidalgo triumphed over Jon Rahm in a dramatic playoff to win the Spanish Open in Madrid on Sunday. The Spaniard secured his victory after two extra holes, clinching the win with a two-foot putt following a birdie on the first playoff hole from both competitors. This marks a significant achievement for Hidalgo, who only a few years ago was in the audience cheering for Rahm during the same tournament.

 

Starting the day together in the final group alongside David Puig, Hidalgo held a two-shot lead overnight, but it quickly diminished as he bogeyed the first hole while his companions made birdies. Despite the rocky start, the 26-year-old regained his composure and completed his final round with a solid score of 70. Rahm, on the other hand, finished strong with birdies on the 17th and 18th, bringing them both to a tie at 14-under and forcing the playoff.

 

In the playoff, after both players birdied the first extra hole, Rahm encountered trouble on the second, hitting a wayward tee shot that left him chipping from off the green. Meanwhile, Hidalgo maintained his focus, playing his approach close to the pin before confidently sinking the putt that secured his first victory at his home tournament.

 

Following the playoff, Rahm expressed his admiration for Hidalgo's achievement, acknowledging the emotional weight of winning at home. He noted the support surrounding Hidalgo during the tournament, highlighting how meaningful this victory was for him.
