Pablo Larrazal’s quest to win back full 2027 players rights looks very much on track with just a round to play in the four-round championship in Spain.

As you can see below Larazabal shares third place at 19-under and just three shots from the front.

 196  M HELLIGKILDE (DEN) 67 65 64, J BALLESTER (ESP) 66 64 66.
198  J BUCHANAN (AUS) 70 62 66.
199  T TETAK (SVK) 67 62 70, C JOHN (AUS) 68 65 66, A BERGSTROM (SWE) 66 67 66, P LARRAZABAL (ESP) 67 65 67.

Larrazabal, 43, is a nine-time Tour winner but it was back in 2023 he last won on Tour in capturing the KLM Open but after earning a two-year exemption for winning in Holland he fell on hard times this past season with a best finish of 33rd in the Nedbank Challenge, and remarkably being staged in the first week of December.

He ended the season 167th on the money list.

Nonetheless, wishing Pablo every success heading into this last round tomorrow.
