–Callaway Staff Professional and World #6 Jon Rahm cruises to a six-shot victory at the Open de España, his third home national title –
(Chessington, UK – October 10, 2022) Callaway and Jon Rahm completed a stellar week on the DP World Tour with a dominant six-shot victory at the Open de España, Jon’s third national title in five years.
Having previous won the prestigious event in 2018 and 2019, the 27-year-old put on a flawless final-day show for home fans at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, using a full bag of Callaway and Odyssey products.
His winning bag included a Rogue ST Triple Diamond LS Driver, Rogue ST Fairway Wood, Apex TCB Irons, JAWS Forged Wedges, Chrome Soft X 22 Golf Ball and an Odyssey White Hot OG Rossie S Putter.
Jon secured the title after carding a stunning 62, 9 under par, to finish the tournament at 25-under, completing a memorable week for #TeamCallaway, with fellow Staffer Min Woo Lee taking third.
Jon now equals his hero Seve Ballesteros’ three Open de España victories and becomes the second fastest Spanish player to win eight titles on the DP World Tour in 62 appearances, only one event more than Ballesteros who won his in 61 starts.
“It was the goal coming in; Seve is a great hero of mine and to do something he took his whole career to do in just a few years is quite humbling. It’s emotional. Going up the 18th hole I knew what was about to happen and to get it done like that, I can’t describe it,” said an elated Jon.
“My lowest round, my lowest score out here, it was pretty much a perfect week,” he added.
With 51 drivers in play, including 37 Rogue ST models, Callaway was the #1 Driver brand at the Open de España. It was also the #1 Driver Brand on the LPGA Tour and on the Champions Tour.
Callaway had nearly 40% of all drivers in play at both the Open de España and at the LPGA Mediheal Championship, plus 43% of the drivers at the Champions Tour event. Odyssey was also the #1 Putter Brand by far at all three tournaments.
Jon joins Callaway staffers Xander Schauffele, Sam Burns and Women’s World #2 Atthaya Thitikul among the list of players who have won multiple times this year with a Rogue ST Driver, a Chrome Soft X Golf Ball and an Odyssey Putter in the bag.
Neil Howie, President and Managing Director of Callaway EMEA, commented: “Jon’s runaway victory underlines how comfortable he is with the performance of his Callaway and Odyssey equipment right now. His achievements in this tournament alone have been nothing short of spectacular and his final round display, in particular, was simply sublime to watch. Congratulations from everyone at #TeamCallaway.”
