Ángel Hidalgo Wins Spanish Open in Playoff

Ángel Hidalgo clinched his first DP World Tour title by defeating Jon Rahm in a playoff at the Spanish Open in Madrid. Hidalgo, who led from the opening round, missed a short birdie putt on the 18th hole, allowing Rahm to force a playoff. Both golfers birdied the first extra hole, but Hidalgo secured victory on the second. Rahm, aiming for his fourth Spanish Open title, finished the final round with back-to-back birdies for a 68. Rahm's participation was notable as he had appealed sanctions to play in the tournament, which is crucial for his Ryder Cup eligibility. Despite Rahm's strong performance, Hidalgo's consistent play throughout the tournament earned him the win.
