2019 Mutuactivos Open De Espana Preview
One of Continental Europe’s oldest tournaments has a new spot in the 2019 European Tour schedule at the Open De Espana. Last year, Spaniard sensation Jon Rahm defeated Paul Dunne by two strokes for his 3rd European Tour victory. This year, he is defending his title against some stiff competition from all over the world, including recent Open De Espana winners Sergio Garcia and James Morrison. Other notables in the field include 55-year-old Miguel Angel Jimenez, and last week’s runner up Matthew Southgate.
Jon Rahm: The move from April to October shouldn’t have much effect on the defending champion, who added a win in July to his already-impressive resume. Aside from a missed cut in last week's pro-am, he still finds himself 2nd in the Race to Dubai Standings, and the hometown crowds should bolster him to another solid finish in his national open.
