Lopez-Chacarra will be aiming to win his third DP World Tour title of the year in his homeland this weekend.
Marco Penge

Joakim Lagergren
Joakim Lagergren has found some form on the DP World Tour lately, placing T9 at the British Masters, T11 at the Omega European Masters, MC at the Amgen Irish Open, T10 at the BMW PGA Championship, and T30 at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship last weekend.
Additional highlights from Lagergren's season include a T15 at the Qatar Masters, a T23 at the Magical Kenya Open, a T18 at the Turkish Airlines Open, a T17 at the Catalunya Championship, and 4th at the Italian Open.

Penge has been thereabouts on the leaderboards lately and can win back-to-back Open de Espana titles this weekend.
