Angel Hidalgo arrived at the 18th hole of the fourth round with a one-shot lead over Jon Rahm and a chance to win the Open de España right there. However, he missed a 4-foot putt for birdie, allowing his compatriot to force a play-off.
However, Hidalgo quickly recovered to take the win on the second hole of the sudden death. It was his first win on the DP World Tour as a home player.
After his win, Hidalgo told the DP World Tour News Service:
"Two or three years ago, I was in the first tee, in the trees, supporting Jon - without playing, I just come here to Madrid to see the tournament. To be here and win the tournament is unreal. Oh, my gosh, it's amazing."
It was Jon Rahm's fourth top two finish at the Open de España, following his three victories in 2018, 2019 and 2022.
