Chacarra wins Italian Open for 2nd straight European tour title and a place in British Open

FIANO, Italy (AP) — Eugenio Chacarra captured a second straight title on the European tour by winning the Italian Open by five shots on Sunday.

The 26-year-old Spaniard got an extra reward — a spot in the British Open taking place next month at Royal Birkdale. It will be his debut in golf’s oldest major.

Chacarra shot 7-under 64 and finished on 24-under par for the week. Matt Wallace (67) was alone in second place.

Chacarra won the KLM Open at the start of June.
