The French Matthieu Pavon won the Spanish Golf Open this Sunday by complete the last day in an immaculate way with a card of 64 strokes (7 under par) and a cumulative score of 261 (-23), replacing Jon Rahm in the record, who displayed his best game of the tournament on the last day but was far from the comeback.

Pavon, 30 years old, arrived in Madrid as number 65 in the world and without any triumph on the European circuit (now DP World Tour) and leaves the Spanish capital with a victory and an important sum of points that will allow him climb positions in the international ranking. He takes ‘revenge’ for last year’s second place when Rahm just surpassed him in the final round.

The French golfer once again completed, for the fourth consecutive day, an excellent day of play with seven birdies.

Behind Pavon, as second, he concluded the German Marcel Siem194 in the world, who signed a card on the last day of only 61 strokes (10 under par), equaling the Englishman Ross McGowan, who had the course record with that record since 2021.

Jon Rahm was far from the comeback, who could not achieve his fourth Spanish Open to surpass Severiano Ballesteros. The ‘León de Barrika’, very irregular in his game the first three days, saved his best repertoire of shots for the last day.

He closed his participation with another birdie on the 18th hole, but still he was 9 shots behind the Frenchman as ninth classified.

Lorenzo-Vera and Otaegui

Michael Lorenzo Vera also finished ninth, with a total of 270 strokesand a card of 69 on the fourth and final day.

Adrian Otaeguifor its part, has concluded in 28th positionafter finishing the last day a total of 70 strokes for a total of 274, 10 more than the winner.
