The Team Mizuno player produced another composed and confident performance to capture his third DP World Tour victory of the season at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europeantour.com\/dpworld-tour\/open-de-espana-presented-by-madrid-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Open de Espa\u00f1a<\/a>, held at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>From the opening round, Penge looked in complete control. Crisp ball-striking and steady putting set the tone early, as he built a lead with back-to-back rounds in the mid-60s. Saturday\u2019s third round was a masterclass in composure \u2013 a 7-under 64 that showcased his trademark precision and calm under pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The only casualty of his third round was Penge\u2019s pitching wedge, that took the brunt of a collision with a tree on the second hole.\u00a0\u201cMy ball was just behind the tree; I didn\u2019t really have a follow through \u2013 I knew it was going to break!\u201d\u00a0He admitted in an on-course interview.\u00a0\u201cI made sure not to hit my hand on the tree and\u2026 yeah, poor pitching wedge.\u201d\u00a0Despite this unlucky break, Penge made up and down for a vital par.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into Sunday with a four-shot advantage \u2013 and a new Mizuno Pro S3 pitching wedge \u2013 the final day brought new challenges. Playing partners Dan Brown and Joel Girrbach applied pressure throughout, with Brown closing the gap late to force a playoff. But when it mattered most, Penge delivered \u2013 unleashing a 194mph drive to the back of the green, applying a deft touch to the chip, and holing a clutch birdie putt on the first extra hole to seal a dramatic victory.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/marco-spanish-open-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-175741\"  \/>Penge lifts the Spanish Open trophy for his third win of the season on the DP World Tour<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t straightforward out there today,\u201d\u00a0Penge said afterwards.\u00a0\u201cI knew the guys behind were going to make a run.
