Eugenio Chacarra Wins Italian Open to Secure Open Spot and Move Closer to PGA Tour Card

The victory lifts him to third in the Race to Dubai, strengthening his bid to earn a PGA Tour card.

Overview

  • Chacarra, who won on Sunday, closed with a bogey-free 64 that included five early birdies and a 35-foot eagle at the par-5 15th to finish 24 under.
  • The Italian Open is his second straight DP World Tour title after the KLM Open earlier this month.
  • By topping the Open Qualifying Series at Turin he earned a place in the Open Championship field at Royal Birkdale next month.
  • The win moved him to third in the Race to Dubai standings, putting him materially closer to one of the top-10 season slots that can translate into a PGA Tour card.
  • A former LIV Golf player who served a one-year PGA Tour suspension, Chacarra has rebuilt his pathway through sponsor invites and DP World Tour form and is expected to play the Scottish Open before Royal Birkdale.
