Pablo Larrazabal hit the gas around the turn and sped off to his first win on home soil.
The 38-year-old Spaniard made five consecutive birdies on Nos. 9-13 en route to an 8-under 62 to secure a one-shot win at 15 under over countryman Adrian Otaegui at the 2022 ISPS Handa Championship in Spain for the second win of his DP World Tour season and seventh of his career.
“I knew that I had a low one in my bag and that’s what I did,” said Larrazabal. ” Today I holed putts and that was key. I mean, to shoot 62 in windy conditions with the flags out there, it was good.”
