Spanish youngster Eugenio Chacarra held his nerve and held off Patrick Reed to claim his first professional title of his young career at LIV Golf Bangkok on Sunday.
The 22-year-old had a response every time Reed, the two-time major winner, closed the gap and — following a 90-minute rainstorm delay — when the American dropped a shot by finding the water on 16, Chacarra never looked back to pick up the $4million winner’s cheque in Thailand, only a few months after turning pro in time for the LIVE Golf Portland event in July.
As if that was not enough, Chacarra’s Fireballs, captained by Sergio Garcia, also won the team event, meaning the foursome will pick up a share of an extra $3 million.
