DP World Tour: Ex-LIV Golf member Eugenio Chacarra moves closer to PGA Tour card with impressive Open d'Italia victory

Eugenio Chacarra secured back-to-back DP World Tour titles and moved a big step closer to earning a PGA Tour card after closing a dominant five-shot win at the DS Automobiles 83° Open d'Italia.

Chacarra took a two-shot lead into the final day at Circolo Golf Torino, where he carded five birdies in his first 10 holes before extending his lead with a stunning 35-foot eagle at the par-five 15th.

He posted a bogey-free 64 with three straight pars to end the week on 24 under, with his winning margin extended as England's Matt Wallace ended his runner-up finish with back-to-back bogeys.

Wallace's final-round 67 saw him finish runner-up ahead of Joaquin Niemann, while a low round-of-the-day 63 from Joakim Lagergren lifted the Swede to fourth, and Spain's Angel Ayora completed the top five at 16 under.

Chacarra's victory lifts him to third in the Race to Dubai standings, trailing only Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy, with the top 10 at the end of the season - not already exempt - earning a PGA Tour card for the following year.

"I'm feeling great, winning's always fun but that's what we work for," Chacarra said. "I'm very proud of how I played and how I managed myself today."

Chacarra and Wallace battled all day, a fight the 26-year-old Spaniard said he relished.

"It was a good fight, two world-class players," Chacarra said. "That's what I've been dreaming of since I was little, to play against those kind of players down the stretch and I'm very proud of how I played and how I managed myself today."
