A brilliant approach at the final hole gave Eugenio Chacarra his second DP World Tour title after a dramatic finish in Amsterdam.

Eugenio Chacarra birdied the 18th hole to win the KLM Open 2026 by one shot after a tense final round at The International in Amsterdam.

The Spaniard appeared in control for much of the day, but a late charge from Finland’s Oliver Lindell saw the pair tied at ten under heading to the final hole. Chacarra responded with a superb approach shot to the back of the green before calmly two-putting for the winning birdie.

– Shot of my career, maybe! Chacarra said after securing his second DP World Tour title, following last year's Indian Open.

Difficult, windy conditions made scoring tough throughout the final round, with only eight players breaking 70. Chacarra briefly held a three-shot lead before bogeys on the back nine opened the door for the chasing pack.

Lindell, who birdied three of his final four holes, finished alone in second place, while Sweden’s Sebastian Söderbergshared third after struggling to maintain his overnight position.

The victory continues a strong season for Chacarra and confirms the 25-year-old as one of the rising names on the DP World Tour.
