Madrid’s Eugenio Chacarra Sets New Course Record

In a spectacular display of golfing prowess, Madrid native Eugenio Chacarra has stormed to the top of the leaderboard at the Alfred Dunhill Championship. The DP World Tour rookie carded an impressive nine-under-par 63 in the opening round, breaking the East Course record at the R by two shots. This is Chacarra’s best competitive round to date, signaling a potential breakthrough in his burgeoning career.

Key Moments from Chacarra’s Round
