LIV Golf Invitational Bangkok
The 22-year-old from Madrid, who began alongside the legend of Pedrea, consecrates himself by winning the Bangkok tournament, awarded nearly five million euros.
New blow of effect of the Spanish golf. Eugenio López-Chacarra (Madrid, 2000) won the Bangkok tournament on the LIV circuit on Sunday, which he completed with a card of 19 strokes under par. Madrid won a prize of about five million euros. The Arab League breaks the market. John Rahm He didn’t even receive 300,000 euros for winning the Spanish Open yesterday.
López-Chacarra is a child prodigy. He has been the amateur with the most impressive long game of those who have passed through the college American. Winds run through his veins pedreerosthose of his long summers on the golf course, or those of his grandfather Eugenio, which fond the whole family. She was at the house Seve Ballesteros. I started training with Vicente Ballesteros. I remember when I was little, Seve, who was already sick, would come down to train and we would play par 3s together. I will never forget when I picked up the jar of claret with Seve in his trophy room, said the last disciple before turning professional.

Sergio Garca, Ricky Fowler, Brooks Koepka, Matthew Wolf and Victor Hovland They have endorsed the kid’s talent. In the four experiences with professionals before making the leap to LIV, Chacarra left no one indifferent. He made the cut a year ago at Sanderson Farms on the PGA Tour. They all freaked out. He has the best long game, they claimed. Fall two streets and seven greenes in four days, but finished higher than 100th in the short game stats and greenI declare.
Precisely the greenes they were Chacarra’s main problem. The closer to the hole, the more he suffered; the more pressure, the more trouble making a fluid movement with the putter. The alarms sounded in a couple of university tournaments where he boarded golf, but he failed some putts. However, his last invitation to the Mayakoba tournament last November changed his sporting life. The tournament made him desperate, but he got a recommendation from Aaron Wise What would change his life? putter broom. Now every time I get to green I no longer suffer. I’m having fun. The broom was like a magic wand for Eugenio.
In its amateur stage, the panel of experts from the prestigious American publication Golf week included him in the list of the 10 players who could win on the PGA Tour in 2022. Crazy, considering that he was not even a professional. He had not yet managed to sign him for LIV Golf. Alan Bratton, coach from Oklahoma, said on television that Chacarra is the greatest talent that passed through the history of the university.
In effort nobody beats me
Chacarra lived like a star in Oklahoma. We had a field just for us, we always traveled by private plane, with facilities that very few universities give you, he recalls. Madrid began in Wake Forest and then signed for Oklahoma State, a university that gave him many more facilities. On his journey I coincided with Colin Morikawa, Viktor Hovlany Mathew Wolf: Being in Oklahoma is like playing for Real Madrid.
His golf and his personality matured with his time at the University. Although Chacarra wants to make clear the lesson best learned from her: Talent is given to us, luck is yours and the effort is put in by you and I think that no one beats me. I consider myself the golfer who works the hardest and I say it proudly, but it is also not only the effort that I make but that of my entire team and especially my family, to whom I undoubtedly owe everything. A successful family, since his sister Carolina stands out as an amateur in the United States.
At the end of June, he announced almost by surprise his signing for LIV, just when he planned to stay another year as amateur. The Arab tycoons put an irrevocable multi-million dollar contract on the table. An opportunity that the Spaniard did not miss. In the worst case, I will be 25 years old when my contract with LIV ends, life solved and I will be able to try to access the PGA Tour and the majors. For three years of the contract, he could receive 15 million, apart from the prizes, like the five from yesterday’s victory.
