Couldn't believe I've already hit it, Sam.
Oh, exactly what he wants.
It's quite a cracking shot.
Absolute silence out there.
But not now for the start from ROM.
Great strike keep window he said.
Oh there is welcome back a battle go.
Muy bien.
140 for push up a little bit of
a down football below his feet.
Have to take dead aim from this distance.
We're watching some great golf already,
aren't we? Sounded nice, didn't it?
Oh it is just on the left side,
but that is a perfect start.
Yeah, never anywhere else.
What a three.
What a fight, but what a comeback.
What a strength of character to
hit that shot from the bunker,
and that has settled him down.
Fabric 2nd.
How does he like it?
Does it get through?
Yes, he should like it.
Had a wonderful start.
Birdie Birdie.
A couple of mistakes was an eagle.
Probably gets the 10 under.
Oh my goodness me.
That is just absolutely mullered.
Carrying all the way down there.
The more control here.
Lovely swing, this is right at it.
He loves this sport for all he says.
Be right, look at that right
over the top of the flag.
Turn it on a little bit, but.
To go three clear for David Pooch.
4th birdie of the day, 14 under par.
Brilliant, you'll be trying to carry
this just past maybe 10 feet past
the flag hop forward and then
come back down to the hole.
Just like that beautiful.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Hardly set it high.
It's a lot of spin.
These pitch well past it.
That's better Mr.
Straight back straight through.
Brilliant stuff. Brilliant stuff.
Back to 12 under.
It's a wee glance to the right there,
but I think it's good.
No, it's awful good.
Oh yeah.
It's good speed, it's good speed.
It's a perfect speed and it's a perfect line.
Well, you're gonna hear it.
Morris is too.
I say to you, it's the perfect angle.
Can you get it right?
It's launched up in the air.
Oh, well, he's carried it beautifully.
Absolutely perfect.
He's not giving up, that's for sure.
9 under.
Look good.
Another good swing from the Swede.
Oh, it's a beauty.
Come off the slope down to the hole.
Very nice indeed.
Far bring to get to 11.
It's only two behind.
If you can get it there, come on,
come on, no.
The young Swede gets within two of the lead.
Oh my goodness me.
Full height, full loft, full commitment.
Oh, that is just sensational.
Back edge is magnificent from where he was.
That is incredible what he's just done.
If he gets that wrong, Sam,
that ball goes into the city centre.
A gentle roar if this goes in.
It's not far away.
I'm not saying a thing, but it's in.
Hidalgo keeps his two shot lead
magnificent up and down of the century.
Is that front edge of downslope
off the back bunker that Hidalgo
hit that's no chance?
There's the high part.
There's a cutting part.
Magnificent touching class.
Is why he is a major champion.
That is why he's one of the
greats in the game of golf.
And how about that applause for
man health Hidalgo sat behind the
green almost as if he expected it.
It's a duel down the 72nd.
What more could you want here in Madrid?
Hidalgo one clear for now.
The line is good.
Come on, come on, it's magnificent.
I'll tell you something.
Only place you didn't want to go.
He's long there,
put him back down the hill.
To get to 14 under par.
And tie the lead.
Brilliant, he's done all he could.
He's asked the question.
This to win.
And the script isn't done yet.
It's been dripping in drama today.
And we've got one more final twist.
We are headed for a playoff
here at Club de Campo.
No, is that gonna hang on?
Too far right, isn't it?
Oh, it nearly stay there.
Well, it's a tricky chip, but it's OK.
Good connection.
It's good connection.
Stop separate separate.
It's magnificent.
It's magnificent, Mark.
Aggressive, it's not in.
It's not in and it's always back.
The stage is yours and help.
The greatest showman has won here in Spain.
Describe the feelings right now.
Insane.
Absolutely insane.
I was.
What's weird because I was pretty relaxed
all day, even the first day.
I don't know why.
Even when I miss the short part
or this one in the whole 72,
I I was not scared.
I just stroke back the ball.
But yeah, that's that's amazing.
That's for everyone.
Who was there when?
Who believe me and yeah, my team,
my family, especially my caddies,
my best friend.
And I call him last year.
I was struggling a little
and I call him and he stopped playing
to to carry my bag.
So, yeah, yeah.
And my grandpa yesterday
was 80 years.
Well, he passed away a few years ago,
but yesterday was his birthday.
So, yeah, that's for him.
You said to me yesterday that John
Rahm is the goat of this tournament.
How proud of yourself are you
that you went face to face
with the two time major champion,
three time winner here and beat him?
Well, to be honest,
on the on the 80, I thought
David Pooch going to win
the tournament by eight
because he was hitting amazing
and John and myself was made
few mistakes.
But yeah, I still focus
on how to play a pretty smart game.
I'm I'm really good game
and I stroke really good.
So, yeah, I'm I'm pretty happy.
And especially with John,
probably he's the most important
player from the last 20 years
or 30 years in Spain.
So, yeah, that's an extra point.
Two years ago, you were playing
on the Alps tour
in your wildest dreams.
Could you imagine two years later
you'd be here on this green
winning the Spanish Open?
Definitely not, because I was
I don't know, was two years ago,
three, three years ago,
I was in exactly this course
in the first day in the tree
supporting John without claim.
I just come here to Madrid
to see the tournament
and be here and win
the tournament is like unreal.
That's unreal.
Yeah. Oh, my gosh.
That's amazing. Yeah.
Finally, they've got so many friends
and family here.
Maybe most important,
your mom and dad are here.
Yes. How important is it for you
to win your national
Open in front of them?
Amazing. Yeah, it's
one of my best friends, Paco,
my coach, Jordi,
my parents traveled this morning
take a train to to be here
for the tournament.
So, yeah, it's so important.
I wish my brother was here,
but I will I will do a video
call now with him.
Probably he's crying more than me
knowing him.
But yeah, it's that's that's for us.
Angel, many congratulations.
I think the celebration
going on for quite a long time.
Enjoy every single minute of them.
Probably I will lose my flight
for some time for tomorrow,
but I don't care.
I will fly Wednesday night.
No worries. Amazing.
Angel, well done.
Enjoy the celebration.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
