Who is the favourite to win the Open de Espana?

Open de Espana Course
Nestled in the hills on the edge of Spain’s capital, the course offers a unique blend of challenge and charm, with sweeping views of Madrid giving it a dramatic backdrop.
Stretching 7,112 yards to a par of 71, this Javier Arana-designed layout demands both length and accuracy. The front nine opens up with generous fairways, tempting players to attack early, but the back nine quickly tightens.
Tree-lined doglegs, sloping fairways, and angled tee shots make driving accuracy a premium. The rough is forgiving compared to many modern layouts, but there’s little room for error when approach shots are blocked by towering pines and greens guarded by deep, strategically placed bunkers.
The greens at Club de Campo are another feature in themselves. Small and tiered, they demand a careful touch, with subtle breaks that test even the best putters.
Bunkers, especially those positioned short of greens, often force players to negotiate awkward lies and delicate recoveries.
That complexity is balanced by scoring opportunities, with three reachable par fives and a driveable 18th offering dramatic birdie chances.
In calm conditions, Club de Campo tends to reward bold play, and winning scores often sit deep in the minus twenties. But when the wind sweeps through Madrid’s hills, the course transforms into a formidable test, where every decision can carry huge consequences.
