Angel Hidalgo triumphed in a dramatic play-off against pre-tournament favourite Jon Rahm to win the Acciona Open de Espana on home soil at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid.

Angel Hidalgo held off pre-tournament favourite Jon Rahm to claim a dramatic play-off victory on home soil at the acciona Open de Espana in Madrid. Hidalgo missed a four-foot birdie chance for victory on the final hole at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, seeing him card a one-under 70 and finish on 14 under alongside Rahm.
Rahm added a third consecutive birdie at the par-four 10th to briefly make it a three-way tie at the top, but Puig bogeyed two of his next three holes and Rahm double-bogeyed the par-four 13th to restore Hidalgo's two-shot cushion. The former Masters champion matched Hidalgo's birdie at the par-five next and poured in from 20 feet at the 17th to close within one of his playing partner, as Puig's hopes faded with dropped shots at the 15th and the 17th.
