Spanish star ready again at his home
CLUB DE CAMPO in Madrid hosts this week's Open De Espana for the fifth consecutive year.
Last year's Open de Espana produced a thriller for home fans. Marbella’s Angel Hidalgo held his nerve to defeat Jon Rahm in a playoff, with fellow Spaniard David Puig one of six players who finished just a shot further back.
Spanish players have always thrived in this event - home golfers have won 40 of the 97 Spanish Opens.
Ryder Cup heroes Shane Lowry and Rahm will be the star attractions this week at Club De Campo — the latter is a three-time winner. He won in 2018, 2019 and 2022 and will be aiming to surpass the great Seve Ballesteros by claiming a fourth home Open success.
16/1 shot Lowry comes into this tournament on a real high after his stunning performance at the Ryder Cup, winning that crucial half point with everything seemingly on the line.
That should fuel Shane's confidence. He's a truly world-class player who has now proven he can deliver when the stakes are high.
Expect Shane to make a bold bid to win this title at odds of 20/1.

STINA TIME KEEPS GUNNS FIRING
ARSENAL cemented their grip on fifth with a comfortable 4-1 win at struggling LEICESTER Alessia Russo and two-goal Stina Blackstenius (inset) stood out in a third straight win for the Gunners. Kelly Gago grabbed a stoppage-time equaliser for EVERTON in an entertaining 3-3 draw at VILLA. France international striker Gago said: “It was great to get two goals and we have to thank the fans for their support.” LIVERPOOL are still searching for their first point after goals from Toko Koga and Bethany England helped fourth-placed TOTTENHAM seal a 2-1 comeback win in a game that had 22 minutes of stoppage time after Reds’ forward Mia Enderby was taken off on a stretcher before going to hospital with a suspected neck injury.
