  • Spanish golfer Eugenio López-Chacarra won the KLM Open in the Netherlands, marking his second DP World Tour title.
  • López-Chacarra finished one stroke ahead of Oliver Lindell and three strokes ahead of Ángel Ayora, Maximilian Steinlechner, and Joe Dean.
  • This victory follows his previous win in India in March of the previous year and marks his fourth professional title overall.

Spain's Eugenio López-Chacarra secured his second DP World Tour victory by winning the KLM Open in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The 26-year-old golfer, who started the week ranked 128th in the world, carded a total of 273 strokes, 11 under par, to claim the title.

López-Chacarra took the solo lead on the 8th hole and built a four-stroke advantage. However, his lead diminished when Oliver Lindell of Finland birdied his final hole to tie with the Spaniard at 10 under par. Despite the pressure, López-Chacarra maintained his composure, closing the 18th hole with a birdie to finish with a final round of 70, securing his win.

This triumph marks a significant achievement for López-Chacarra, especially after a disappointing final round in India the previous March, where he faltered when in a strong position to win. The KLM Open victory adds to his growing professional career, bringing his total professional titles to four.

His professional career began with a win in Bangkok in October 2022, making him the first Spaniard to win on LIV Golf. He then secured a second title in Scotland on the Asian Tour in August 2023, before his breakthrough on the European circuit in India last year.
