“It wasn’t easy, but I feel this was the best for me and for my future, and what LIV is doing is something unbelievable. The PGA Tour University doesn’t give you much; it can just give you six events, and then if you don’t play good – one of my best friends Austin Eckroat was playing Monday qualifying all year and getting the opportunity to play with Sergio, one of my heroes, and then Abraham and Carlos for a couple of years here and learning with the best players,” Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra said.

The Madrid native has struggled in the past to get his game going on the professional circuit. During his first four starts against fields of just 48 players, Lopez-Chacarra has never finished better than 24th until his heroics at the Bangkok golf course.

Looking back on his game he said – he tried to just have fun on the course. “I went back to see what I was doing in college because I was working so good and I didn’t do as good the first four weeks as a pro, and it was just trying to have fun and then play to not make bogeys,” he explained. “Kind of play smart on the course, and that’s what I’ve started doing this week.”
