What does Eugenio Chacarra’s win in India mean for Patrick Reed and the Order of Merit?

Eugenio Chacarra won the DP World India Championship on Sunday at Delhi Golf Club, finishing at 21-under par to claim a two-stroke victory over Daniel Hillier. The triumph marked the 26-year-old Spaniard's third European tour title of the 2026 season. Consequently, Chacarra dethroned Patrick Reed from the top of the Race to Dubai Order of Merit standings with only three events remaining.

Chacarra overcame weather delays to play 25 holes on Sunday, posting a 9-under 63 in his third round followed by a final-round 70. Despite playing with a recently fractured toe, he navigated the course without using a driver. The victory enhances Chacarra's pursuit of the season-long Race to Dubai title and an automatic spot on Europe's Ryder Cup team.
