The overnight leader Grant Forest remains in contention for a wire-to-wire victory at the Open de España presented by Madrid after producing a brilliant burst of scoring on the back nine to share the lead with Joe Dean heading into the final round.

Today they both have just teed off with Victor Perez -12 in the final pairing, with that precarious -13 lead, with 4 players at -12 right behind them.

This de Campo Villa course is playing soft, the weather is ideal, so the scoring is low.

Grant Forrest birdied the final hole to win the 2026 Open de España presented by Madrid as home favourite Eugenio Chacarra's charge came up just short.

Chacarra played the front nine in -5 to erase Forrest and Joe Dean's overnight lead and his own birdie at the last gave him hope of a play-off.

But Forrest made a good up-and-down from off the front of the 18th green to earn his first DP World Tour victory outside of his native Scotland - as well as invitations to both the 2027 Masters Tournament and the 155th Open Championship at St Andrews.

"I'm in shock, honestly, pure shock right now," he said.

"That's fairytale stuff, I've played two Opens and to be going to Augusta, I just can't get my head round it. You can have a great career in this game and never get to go to Augusta, so I cannot believe it."

South Africa's Thriston Lawrence gave an early indication that scores were there to be made with four birdies in five holes from the fourth to reach the turn in 32, eventually shooting 65.

Chacarra said during an on-course interview on the sixth: "This is what I needed, I'm excited for the fight. I need to get to eight or nine (under par for the round) to have a chance, that's what my goal is."

Dean bogeyed the 12th to leave only Chacarra and Olesen tied at the top, while Forrest was also one back after birdies at the tenth and 13th either side of a bogey at the 11th.

The Scot pulled level once more with a third birdie in four holes at the 14th, while Chacarra bogeyed the 17th after finding a greenside bunker off the tee.

The Spaniard birdied the last to set the target at -13  and was left waiting to see how his rivals finished, with Forrest through the back of the 16th green. He got up and down for par but Dean dropped a shot to fall one behind the leaders.

Olesen bogeyed the 17th to miss out on -12  as did Dean who finished a shot further back -11 but Forrest sealed the deal with a well-judged chip and a putt from just inside four feet.

BBC Weather: 12/23*c Sunny with light winds, 2km/h sw

Saturday's play is well under way in ideal sunny Spanish weather on the Real Club de Campo Villa de Madrid on the DP World Tour.

SCENARIO

Remember with just two regular season events remaining, in India and Korea after this week the regular season ends with the top 100 securing their cards for 2027.

The top 70 then go to Abu Dhabi for a playoff, with the top 50 advancing to the DP World Tour Championship.

It is a nervous time for many, for example with the cut falling at +1, Eddie Pepperell had to birdie the last hole to make the weekend, he is at #101.

With DP World Tour points leader Patrick Reed missing the cut, and Rory McIlroy off look for Spaniard Eugenio Chacarra 66 69 -7 to take over the points lead this weekend.

FINAL EDIT >> 1pm est 7pm Madrid

The overnight leader Grant Forest remains in contention for a wire-to-wire victory at the Open de España presented by Madrid after producing a brilliant burst of scoring on the back nine to share the lead with Joe Dean heading into the final round.

The Scot began the day with a one-shot lead but slipped down the leaderboard after following birdies at the third and fourth with a bogey and five pars in favourable scoring conditions.

He bounced back brilliantly, though, reeling off birdies at the 11th, 14th and 16th to reach -13  and grab a share of the lead alongside Englishman Dean.

Forrest, who is searching for his third DP World Tour title, said: "I'm happy with how I handled today.

"I didn't have my best stuff but I'm really proud of how I dug in and made some nice putts, a couple of good recovery shots and all in all a decent score again.

"This is one of my favourite tournaments - it's been good to me in the past - and I'd love nothing more than to go home with a trophy tomorrow."

Sheffield native Dean completed a fightback of his own on Saturday as he birdied the last from 31 feet to banish the memory of his previous two holes.

Eight birdies in his first 15 holes had seen Dean open up a three-shot lead at the top but his advantage was wiped out altogether when he followed up a double bogey on the 16th with a bogey at the 17th.

But those fireworks from Dean at the 18th made it a tie at the top, with Joel Girrbach, Victor Perez and Jacob Skov Olesen one shot behind on -12.

Dean reflected on his closing birdie putt, saying: "It gave a little bit of hope after those previous two holes.

"But nothing's guaranteed in this game and it only takes a slight lapse in concentration or a bad shot and before you know it you're chasing.

"It's nice to finish with a birdie on the last. We'll go again and see what happens."

While the late wave led by overnight leader Eugenio Chacarra -5 66 get ready, the morning wave see's Swiss star Joel Girrbach at -6 66 and he has the clubhouse lead  at -8.....

FINAL EDIT >>> 1230pm EST  630pm Madrid

Grant Forrest continued his good record at Real Club de Campo Villa de Madrid to take a one-stroke lead into the weekend at the Open de España presented by Madrid.

The Scot has twice finished T3 in Spain’s national open, in 2021 and 2024, and has never missed the cut across his six previous appearances.

He held a share of the lead after a first-round 66 and he backed it up with a 67 on Friday to reach -9, with countryman Connor Syme and Switzerland's Joel Girrbach as his nearest challengers.

Eugenio Chacarra, who is playing on home soil with a fractured toe, and Joe Dean are both at -7, with Danish duo Jacob Skov Olesen and Jeff Winther a shot further back -6, alongside French pair Martin Couvra and Victor Perez and New Zealand's Daniel Hillier.

Patrick Reed, who has led the Race to Dubai Rankings since February, missed the cut and Chacarra will leapfrog both Rory McIlroy and the American with a victory on Sunday.

SUMMARY

Chacarra, already a two-time winner of national opens this year, enjoyed a strong finish with three birdies over his final five holes to card a 69.

Dean, who won his first DP World Tour title earlier this season at the Husqvarna British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo, went bogey-free in his 67.

Couvra and Winther both signed for a 66, Rolex Series winner Perez made a hat-trick of birdies in his 68 and Hillier shot a 69 to complete the top ten.

Eddie Pepperell, who is in need of Race to Dubai points to preserve his playing rights next season, was among those to make the cut on the number +1 after birdieing his final hole in a battling 70.

EDIT >>> 2026/10/08..4pm est  10pm Madrid

Race to Dubai contender Eugenio Chacarra battled through the pain barrier with a fractured toe to hold a share of the lead after day one of the Open de España presented by Madrid.

Twice a winner already this season, claiming victories at national opens in the Netherlands and Italy over back-to-back starts in the summer, he carded a -5 66 that contained two eagles as he was later joined at the summit of the leaderboard by Scottish duo Connor Syme and Grant Forrest.

Daniel Hillier, who made his first DP World Tour hole-in-one at the 17th to win a BMW iX5, is in a four-strong group one shot further back at -4  alongside Spanish pair Angel Ayora and Sergio Garcia and Denmark's Jacob Skov Olesen.

A win this week, coupled with a missed cut by Race to Dubai leader Patrick Reed, could see Chacarra take the ascendancy in the pursuit of the Harry Vardon Trophy, with Rory McIlroy sandwiched in between the pair and due to return to action at next week’s DP World India Championship.

However, with two events of the regular season still left before the DP World Tour Play-Offs next month in the United Arab Emirates, the 26-year-old is weighing up the risk of potentially doing further damage ahead of what promises to be an exciting run-in to the DP World Tour season.

"It's been tough," he said. "I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, but obviously I need to take care of myself.

"Obviously, I had a good round, but just how I feel physically, it's not great. I don’t know, it’s just hard. It’s a struggle.

"It doesn’t really hurt when I’m swinging. That’s the only good thing. It’s why I can still make a score, but it’s just been really tough to walk.

"I made it through today but the pain I had [over] the last holes walking is something that I don’t know if it’s worth it because I’ve got a lot to play for in the next couple of weeks."
