Heavy artillery. Didn’t you want broth? Well, here are two cups. The Estrella Damm Andalucía Masters is going all out from the start. Thursday and Friday, Jon Rahm and Ángel Hidalgo will play together in the same match.
Exactly 18 days after their particular great battle at the Open de España, which fell on the side of the man from Málaga on the second playoff hole. “Nothing, nothing, nothing changes here. The only and great favourite is Jon. The only thing is that before I had zero chances and now maybe I have one percent,” joked Hidalgo in statements to El Pelotazo on Canal Sur Radio.
Rahm and Hidalgo will play with Rasmus Hojgaard on Thursday starting at 9:35 and on Friday from two in the afternoon. A stellar match. The great favourite, alongside the local golfer who just won the Open de España and one of the main candidates to debut in the Ryder Cup at Bethpage next year.
It’s not the only great match of the first two days of the tournament in Sotogrande. Additionally, Rafa Cabrera Bello will share the start with David Puig and Romain Langasque. Another great match. Manu Elvira and Sebas García Rodríguez will also play together, facing his last chance to save his card before attending the DP World Tour School Final.
Other interesting matches with Spanish presence are:
McKibbin – Otaegui – Soderberg
Rozner – Larrazábal – Paul
Campillo – Norgaard – Lacroix
Nacho Elvira – Perez – Olesen
Also, keep an eye on some non-Spanish tee times like Lawrence, Wallace, and Nicolai Hojgaard.
