The former LIV Golfer entered the final round with a one-shot advantage over playing partners Keita Nakajima and Brandon Stone, however that was quickly diminished with a double-bogey at the first followed by another dropped shot on the third.

The 25-year-old Golf Saudi Ambassador bounced back with birdies at the sixth and ninth to make the turn one over for the day, before he regained his advantage at the top of the leaderboard with back-to-back gains at the 11th and 12th holes.

The highlight of Chacarra’s round came at the 14th, where he holed out from a tricky spot in the rough for a bonus birdie and opened up a four-shot lead. He survived a late scare on the 17th after finding himself near the long grass following his second shot, escaping with a bogey, before closing his round with a par to stroll to victory at the difficult DLF Golf and Country Club.

Chacarra becomes the first Spanish winner of the Hero Indian Open and he is now looking forward to building on this victory with more DP World Tour success.

Japan’s Nakajima finished in second place on two under par, while Dutchman Joost Luiten was another stroke back in third. Sweden’s Jens Dantorp finished fourth on level par, while Frenchman Adrien Saddier was two shots further back in fifth.
