Spanish golfer Eugenio Lopez Chacarra says he is playing the best golf of his career as he prepares to challenge Rory McIlroy at the upcoming tournament in Dubai. Chacarra, who described McIlroy as his idol, aims to hold off the Northern Irish star in the desert event.
The 24-year-old pointed to his performance at the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst, North Carolina, on June 13, where he competed in the first round, as evidence of his current form. Chacarra's confidence comes after a strong season on the international circuit.
The Dubai tournament, part of the DP World Tour schedule, will see Chacarra and McIlroy among the leading contenders when play begins later this month.
