Marco Penge wins again ! Spanish Open. Final results

 Marco Penge beat Dan Brown in a play-off on a dramatic final day of the 2025 Open de España presented by Madrid. Results

 Brown brilliantly shot 67 despite repeated delays for treatment to his right shoulder and neck, finishing level on -15 with Penge who had begun the day four shots clear.

But the long-time leader birdied the first play-off hole to seal his third win of the DP World Tour season, following April's Hainan Classic and the Danish Golf Championship in August, and earn a place in both the Open Championship and the Masters next season.

Joel Girrbach, the third member of the final group, finished one shot behind in third.

Penge said: “Dan and Joel played great today, they were holing putts and I just couldn’t really get it in the hole, it felt like I was really up against it.

“But I felt like I managed myself really well and I actually think tee to green, I feel like I played really solid. It doesn’t matter the putts, I think I used them all yesterday, but obviously holing that one there was worth the wait.”

Brown looked on the verge of withdrawing after talking to an official and waiting for further attention on the 13th fairway, but bravely continued and hit a superb approach to set up a birdie. Another followed at the 15th despite clear discomfort, with the medical attention seeing him tee off several minutes after his partners.

All three players birdied the 16th, where Girrbach holed brilliantly from 21 feet, and parred the 17th to leave Penge one up going down the last - but he could only make par from a bunker as Brown's birdie forced a play-off. 

Girrbach's birdie secured third outright and, far from merely keeping his card, ensured he will qualify for the DP World Tour Play-offs.

Brown hit his tee-shot just short of the green as the play-off combatants went back down the 18th, with Penge in the left rough. Both left themselves testing birdie putts after their chips, with Penge holing from around 10 feet.

“I was getting a little frustrated at times but I was reminding myself I was so patient the first three rounds, and that’s the reason I played the way I did, so I just tried to stay in the same sort of mindset," he said.

“Credit to the lads, they did unbelievable to catch me, and I’m just very grateful that I can be the one that wins.”

On his imminent Masters invitation, he added: “It’s crazy. It’s a golf course that I’ve always wanted to play, because I feel like my game sets up really good for it.

“My goal was to get in the top 50 in the world by the end of the year. I think that made it a little easier playing the play-off, knowing that if I don’t win, I’m still going to be at the Masters. I tried to do a bit of reverse psychology there but no, I’m looking forward to it.”

Tom McKibbin finished fourth on -12 after he birdied the last for a round of 69, with Joakim Lagergren, Jayden Schaper, Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen and Ugo Coussaud tied for fifth on -11.

Jon Rahm was -10 after an excellent Sunday 65, matched by Angel Ayora and David Puig for the status of top Spanish finisher after all three birdied the last.

Also on that score was Alex Fitzpatrick, who made 13 straight pars before eagling the 14th from a bunker and birdieing the 16th as a 68 boosted his chances of keeping his card for next year.

Meanwhile Aaron Cockerill's week is complete 67 67 74 71 -5 T30.

As it stands he is projected to move up 4 spots to #115 in the Race to Dubai standings with two regular season events remaining.

He played well from tee to green 67 67 -8 T2 to make the final pairing on Saturday. 

However he may well look back on his unusual front nine, 5 bogey 41 which knocked  him out of contention for his demise. He rallied with an eagle, birdie, birdie run on the back nine to minimize the damage to a 74 and played much better today with the 71.

So now he proceeds with these two events to salvage his season.

October 16  DP World Championship in New Delhi, India (Rory McIlroy and several other Ryder Cup stars are playing this new event, as the DP World Tour looks to increase its footprint in India)

October 23  Genesis Championship, South Korea

The top 100 retain their full DP World status, while 100-110 will get conditional status.

Aaron would then have options if he doesn't qualify.

1. The first being Q School where the top 15 and ties from Final Stage win their cards. 

2nd Stage October 30- Nov 2 in Spain   Final Stage Nov 7-12 Tarragona, Spain

2. Also, then all the players who make the Final Stage will receive  status on the Challenge Tour.

3. Play Satellite Tours like the Sunshine Tour or the Alps Tour

Sunday : Penge leads Spanish Open, Cockerill falls out of contention ..Live Sunday scoreboard

    DP World Tour : Spanish Open  Tee Times Weather Leaderboard

Marco Penge defied the early loss of his pitching wedge to take a stranglehold on the 2025 Open de España presented by Madrid on day three.

Despite frequent trips to the trees around Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, including that costly visit on the second hole, Penge put on an exhibition in a run of eight birdies in ten holes for a 64 to lead by four strokes at -16 after 54 holes.

Playing partner Joel Girrbach (67) was his nearest challenger at -12, Patrick Reed (67) and Dan Brown (67) a shot further back at -11 and Tom McKibbin (67) is -10

“I was just trying to go as low as I could," Penge said afterwards. “I’ve learnt in the past that when you’re leading, you can’t just… not play steady, that’s not the right word, but you’ve got to be going forward because everyone else will catch you up.

"It was nice to prove to myself that I can do it."

Penge began the day nine under, one shot ahead of Girrbach, Jeff Winther and Aaron Cockerill. He broke his wedge playing from beneath a tree at the second, though he brilliantly scrambled to save his par.

"My ball was just behind the tree, I didn't really have a follow-through - I knew it was going to break," he admitted in an on-course interview. "I kind of picked a club I didn't think I was going to need the rest of the way, just made sure not to hit my hand on the tree and... yeah, poor pitching wedge."

There was little among the early starters to back up the tag of 'Moving Day', though Calum Hill shot 66 and Thriston Lawrence birdied three of his first seven holes. Rahm made an ominous move as, though his eagle at the fourth was followed by a bogey, he birdied the next three to reach -7.

Girrbach was first to break out as he finished his front nine with five birdies in six holes to power to -12 under while the third member of the group Aaron Cockerill fell out of contention with an opening nine of 41.(edit)

Penge rejoined the Swiss at the top with four straight gains around the turn, and moved ahead on his own after another magical escape from the trees on the 13th.

“Whatever the outcome is, it’s going to be a great experience, great memories for me," said Penge. "I just love playing golf, I love competing, I love playing in front of big crowds like we have here. I love to challenge myself, whether that’s good or bad.

“So tomorrow’s just another day for me, tomorrow doesn’t define anything, it’s just another day, an 18-hole round of golf. Whatever happens, happens, it’s not the end of the world, I’ve still got my family at home and all that stuff so I’m lucky.”

The group of five players at -9 featured Coussaud, who bounced back from Friday's 73 with a 66, Levy (69), Bernd Wiesberger (69), Thorbjørn Olesen (68) and Grant Forrest (66)

Puig and Angel Ayora were the leading Spaniards at -8, with Rahm's round losing momentum on the back nine as he ended the day -4.

There were holes-in-one for John Parry - at the 17th, where a new BMW iX3 was on offer as a prize - as his 66 took him to -6, and fellow Englishman Dan Bradbury at the ninth as he sat alongside Rahm at -4.

Penge, Cockerill atop leaderboard Spanish Open.. 36 hole results... Saturday TEE TIMES

  DP World Tour : Spanish Open  Tee Times Weather Leaderboard

Marco Penge insisted he was only operating at "seven out of ten" even as he took the halfway lead at the 2025 Open de España presented by Madrid.

The Englishman had four birdies, including the final two holes, in a 67 to move to -9 and one ahead of Aaron Cockerill, Joel Girrbach and Jeff Winther.

"Very patient day, nice to have a bogey-free round," said Penge. "I played pretty solid, still a couple of bits there that I can improve on but all in all it was a steady round of golf.

"I think if you're not patient, it's going to catch you out. It's so tricky and a little bit fiddly and if you're not fully focused or concentrating over every shot, you're going to make bogeys.

Cockerill shot 67 for the second successive day and produced a near-identical front and back nine to boot. The Canadian birdied the fourth, bogeyed the seventh and responded with a pair of birdies - then, after the turn, had a gain at the 14th before again finishing bogey-birdie-birdie for -8 total.

He said: "I played really solid tee to green made a couple of good putts where I needed to, couple of birdies at the end of each nine. Overall very happy with the day."

Winther's 64, which featured five birdies along with an eagle at the 14th, matched the best round of the day set by fellow Scandinavian Joakim Lagergren.

Girrbach produced a superb bogey-free 65, with pairs of birdies at the 12th and 13th and then the 16th and 17th having started on the back nine. Another followed at the fourth before a perfect approach to the sixth left him to add another from four feet.

Lagergren, who was thrilled with a round that he said "felt sort of effortless", was -7 alongside Daniel Brown, Bernd Wiesberger, Patrick Reed and late finishers Alexander Levy and Julien Guerrier.

American Reed followed up his opening 68 with a 67 but remained frustrated. He said: "If I hit the ball like I did today over the weekend, I’ll give myself a lot of opportunities - I just need the putter working like it did the first day."

Angel Ayora remained the leading Spaniard at -6 two shots ahead of three-time champion Jon Rahm.

Superb Cockerill takes clubhouse lead at Spanish Open... live scoreboard

  DP World Tour : Spanish Open  Tee Times Weather Leaderboard

With the 2025 season winding down it has been a trying season for Canada's Aaron Cockerill, sitting at #119 in the Race to Dubai, with the top 100 a requirement finish to keep DP World Tour cards in 2026.

In 2024 he finished #49 and qualified for the Tour Championship finale, every players ultimate goal on this Tour, but I do recall in previous year's it coming down to the wire to get into the top 116, which was the standard until the PGA and DP world Tours reduced the number to 100.

This week he opened brightly with -4 67, but more importantly in this very competitive environment he followed it up with another -4 67 moments ago which included some spectacular iron play and a confidence boosting birdie, birdie finish after his one loose drive cost him a bogey at the 16th. 

The 17th, a 197yd par3, a perfect example, his iron landing 7 feet from the back pin, and then his 8yd wedge to 6' at the last put an exclamation mark on a great 36 holes.

The late wave is on course as I post this, whatever happens, he has given himself a great position for the weekend, and hopefully for his season.

Cockerill in contention at the Spanish Open.. Live scoreboard Friday. TEE TIMES

 DP World Tour : Spanish Open  Tee Times Weather Leaderboard

 Ugo Coussaud gave himself a perfect birthday present by ensuring he will wake up on Friday sharing the lead in the 2025 Open de España presented by Madrid.

The Frenchman, on his final day as a 32-year-old, shot 65 at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid and was out on his own until Sam Bairstow matched that score with almost the final shot of Thursday's play.

They were one shot ahead of Frederic Lacroix, Marco Penge and Bernd Wiesberger.

Coussaud's round featured eagles at the 14th, thanks to a 20-foot putt, and the fourth.

Starting from the tenth, he responded to a dropped shot at the 12th with the first of those eagles and then a birdie at the par-three 17th for an outward nine of 33.

He birdied the third and immediately put a second eagle on his card and, despite a bogey at the sixth, he bounced back with two successive birdies - the last coming via a stunning escape from trees down the left of the eighth.

"It was a great day," he said. "Many, many great shots close to the pin - especially on the two par-fives, and I made the two good putts - so just a great day.

"I had a few bad shots as well but I recovered quite nicely so I'm very happy with today."

Bairstow also eagled the fourth in an otherwise quiet front nine before his round burst dramatically into life at the ninth.

The English left-hander had only two more pars from that point forward, alternating birdies and bogeys from the ninth to the 12th and then birdieing four of his last five holes to join Coussaud on -6

"I think coming in, the focus was on getting finished because of the dark so to finish with a few birdies there was great," Bairstow said. "I played here for the first time last year and I loved it. The last few weeks are great for the English and the European lads because they're all close to home, they're all good events".

Angel Ayora was the leading Spaniard, the 21-year-old on -4 67 with the highlight of his round a tap-in eagle at the seventh. He was alongside Grant Forrest, Alexander Levy, Dan Bradbury and Aaron Cockerill.

edit >> Cockerill, the lone Canadian on Tour is one of the players around the top 100 who will retain their cards, so at #119 his opening 5 birdie, one bogey -4 67 puts him in contention for what could be his first win, or a much needed top 10 finish.

Spanish Open Thursday TEE Times including Aaron Cockerill who has a lot at stake

 DP World Tour: Spanish Open Tee Times

The DP World Tour continues for the first time this year, in Spain for the Spanish Open in Madrid.

Three time winner Jon Rahm is the headliner, joined by a strong Spanish contingent including Sergio Garcia who was noticeably missing from the European contingent at this year's Ryder Cup, where despite his record is not part of any Captain's selections as an assistant, never mind a player.

Such is the price he paid when in his prime, he turned his back on all he had accomplished in the game, for the free millions he was handed by the Saudi's and LIV.

Canada's Aaron Cockerill is playing, now ranked #119 in the Race to Dubai where the top 100 will retain their full status on the DP World Tour. His owgr is #390.

The top 100-110 will be given Category 18 conditional status.

If he misses the top 110 he is facing Q School where the top 15 and ties will retain their 2026 cards

Jon Rahm heads a strong international field at the Spanish Open in Madrid....Entry list

The DP World Tour makes its first visit to Spain on this season's Race to Dubai this week as the Back 9 continues with the Open de España presented by Madrid.

Rahm leads home hopes

Angel Hidalgo may be the defending champion but just over a week from helping Europe to a Ryder Cup triumph on American soil, it is Rahm who is likely to attract the biggest galleries. 

The 2018, 2019 and 2022 champion is looking to surpass the late, great Seve Ballesteros with four wins in the DP World Tour era but he will have plenty of local competition. Fellow former champions Sergio Garcia and Rafa Cabrera Bello tee it up as do Eugenio Chacarra, Alejandro del Rey, Nacho Elvira, Pablo Larrazábal and Jorge Campillo, who have all won in recent seasons. Add in the likes of David Puig and Angel Ayora and the local fans are sure to have plenty to cheer this week.

Hidalgo defends

Angel Hidalgo returns to defend his trophy after claiming a maiden DP World Tour title in spectacular style 12 months ago. The home hero went toe-to-toe with three-time winner and two-time Major champion Jon Rahm on the final day, with Rahm's birdie-birdie finish leaving them tied at -14. 

Both players birdied the first extra hole but after Rahm's chip slipped past second time around, Hidalgo holed a two-foot putt for victory. "Two or three years ago, I was in the first tee, in the trees, supporting Jon - without playing, I just come here to Madrid to see the tournament,” said Hidalgo. "To be here and win the tournament is unreal. Oh, my gosh, it's amazing."

Lowry back in action after Ryder Cup heroics

After four members of Luke Donald's Ryder Cup winning line-up teed it up last week in Scotland at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, Rahm is one of two others returning to action in Spain. 

Joining the former World Number One is Shane Lowry, who holed the putt that saw Team Europe retain the Ryder Cup trophy at Bethpage Black. The Major winner featured in Spain's national open for the first time in ten years last season, finishing in a tie for 13th as he registered a fourth top-20 finish in his six starts. 

With the Irishman confirmed to play at the inaugural DP World India Championship too next week, a pair of strong performances could vault him into the top 70 on the season-long standings and thereby qualify for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship - the opening event of the DP World Tour Play-Offs.

Major invites on offer

As part of a change to qualification criteria, an invitation to the Masters Tournament and exemption into The Open Championship are on offer this week. One spot to the leading player, not already exempt, who makes the cut is up for grabs at each of the two Major Championships. 

One of six new exemption categories for next April's Masters, the Open de España also marks the first event of The Open Qualifying Series. 

Mark Darbon, Chief Executive of The R&A, said: “We share the same goal as Augusta National to offer places in both The Open and the Masters to players competing in national opens and by doing so to help to showcase and strengthen our sport in those regions. This creates an outstanding opportunity for players in all parts of the world to qualify and we firmly believe this will continue to enrich the quality of the fields in both Major Championships.”

MacIntyre caps dream fortnight at St Andrews with Dunhill Links Championship..Final Results

   DP World Tour : Alfred Dunhill Links Championship  Weather  Leaderboard

Home favourite Robert MacIntyre continued his dream fortnight as he became the first Scottish winner of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship since 2005 a week after helping Europe to Ryder Cup victory.

Fresh from playing a huge part in Luke Donald's side's famous away win over the U.S. at Bethpage Black, MacIntyre returned to home soil to take on Carnoustie Golf Links, Kingsbarns Golf Links and The Old Course, St Andrews in this unique event.

With the tournament being reduced to 54 holes following weather interruptions on Friday and Saturday, early starter MacIntyre played his third and final round on The Old Course on Sunday and flew out of the blocks, notching six birdies over the first 13 holes to move five strokes clear at the top of the leaderboard.

The World Number Nine then mixed a birdie at the 16th with a bogey on the 17th before having to settle for a tap-in par on the last to sign for a closing -6 66 and set the clubhouse target at -18.

The Scot faced an anxious wait as several players in the chasing pack made their way down the stretch but no-one was able to catch MacIntyre and, around 90 minutes after holing his final putt, he was able to celebrate a four-shot victory and his fourth DP World Tour title in all.

Scottish players enjoyed great success in the event’s early years following its inclusion on the DP World Tour in 2001, with Paul Lawrie, Stephen Gallacher and Colin Montgomerie lifting the trophy in three of its first five editions.

But the last of those home victories came 20 years ago before MacIntyre claimed his second title in Scotland on the DP World Tour following last year's Genesis Scottish Open win, which had also seen him replace Montgomerie as the most recent Scottish winner.

MacIntyre's Ryder Cup team-mate Tyrrell Hatton finished alone in second on -14 following his Sunday 65 on The Old Course, with South Africa's Richard Sterne and Englishman John Parry another shot back at -13.

MacIntyre said: "Unbelievable. Any time you can win a golf tournament on these shores is special. But I'm just delighted with the way I've done it.

"I've played really nice over the three days (66 66 66) and here we are.

"I don't know how we're going to celebrate after the celebration we had last Sunday! We'll try our best. I don't know if it'll be tonight but it'll be over the next couple of weeks.

"We'll have a nice celebration. Any time you can win, it's difficult to win. It's just a beautiful ending to a good week."

He is now ranked #8 in owgr.

Harrison Crowe and Cian Foley won the team event on 33 under par following scores of 62, 58 and 63 across the three rounds.

The third round of the 2025 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship will take place on Sunday after play was cancelled due to high winds on day three, with the tournament to be decided over 54 holes.

After Friday's weather had led to a suspension of the second round in the late afternoon, those with holes still to complete returned to the three host courses on Saturday morning.

Round three got under way in the early afternoon but no-one managed to complete more than two holes before play was suspended.

It was then announced that no further play would be possible on Saturday, with the third round now set to commence on Sunday as a two-tee start, over all three courses between 09.00 and 11.23.

Tournament Director Mikael Eriksson said: "Following consultation with IMG, Alfred Dunhill and the DP World Tour, the decision has been made to reduce this year’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship to 54 holes.

“We attempted to begin the third round this afternoon, but shortly after play started wind gusts of 56mph were recorded which resulted in play being suspended. Conditions for the remainder of the day gave us no option but to cancel the third round, which will start afresh on Sunday morning.”

Home favourite Robert MacIntyre and South Africa's Richard Sterne remain the men to catch at the top of the leaderboard on -12.

After opening the gates at 1230 to the public and positioning all players on 3 courses for a 1230 shotgun start it was determined with balls being blown off greens that play must be suspended, as unplayable after just 1 hole.

Players, fans currently all in hold mode until final decision on today. So either a 54 hole event or a Monday finish. I think they will wait for a while to see if the wind dies down enough to play.

Johan Rupert the South African billionaire who is the host of these Alfred Dunhill Links Championship who invites all the LIV players in hopes of re-uniting the golf world, will have to make a decision with the DP World organizers.

They will play today until the wind starts blowing balls off the greens, when it will be deemed unplayable, however with Sunday being more favourable weather, they well might get all 72 holes in.

Bob MacIntyre delights rain soaked crowds as Storm Amy hits St Andrews..36 hole results

 Home hero Robert MacIntyre held a share of the lead when the second round of the weather-affected 2025 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship was suspended after he shot a sensational 66 in brutal conditions at Kingsbarns Golf Links.

When early starter Richard Sterne put the finishing touches to his bogey-free -5 67 at The Old Course, St Andrews to set the clubhouse target at -12, it looked like no-one would be able to catch him, with strong winds and heavy rain battering all three courses across the afternoon.

But up stepped Scottish Ryder Cup star Robert MacIntyre, who made seven birdies and a solitary bogey in the worst of the weather to join Sterne at the summit before play was suspended due to unplayable courses at 16.14 local time.

Those with holes still to complete will return to the course at 08.00 on Saturday before the third round begins at 12.30 with a shotgun start if Mother Nature allows.

Sterne's countryman Louis Oosthuizen who left for LIV money, was one shot behind the co-leaders after carding a 68 at Kingsbarns, one ahead of the large group containing home favourite Scott Jamieson.

MacIntyre said: "It was almost a perfect round of golf, especially once the weather came in, just a lovely round.

"It's difficult when it gets this windy. It's hard to hit the ball good with the wind.

"So I was having to try and fight the wind on certain holes and wasn't comfortable. But I made some beautiful shots. Yeah, putted solidly in the wind."

There was a four-way tie at the top of the team standings, with Wenyi Ding and David MacFarlane, Harrison Crowe and Cian Foley, Jack Senior and Dery Desmond and Alejandro Del Rey and Matthew Goode all on -24
