Scotland's Grant Forrest captured a dramatic Spanish Open victory at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid on Sunday. The 33-year-old birdied the par-four 18th hole from the greenside rough to finish at 14 under par, securing a tense one-shot victory over Spain's Eugenio Chacarra and France's Victor Perez. It marks Forrest's third DP World Tour title and his first professional win outside of Scotland.
The triumph dramatically turns around a difficult 2026 season for Forrest, who had missed eight cuts in his previous nine events and sat 118th in the Race to Dubai. The win lifts him to 27th in the rankings and earns him exemptions into both The Open and The Masters next year.
