01장비 교체로 완성한 2026년 '해트트릭' 우승
에우헤니오 차카라(Eugenio Chacarra)가 2026년 시즌 다시 한번 정상에 오르며 놀라운 기세를 이어갔다. 이번 우승은 그의 시즌 세 번째 승리로, 이른바 '해트트릭'을 완성하며 투어 내 독보적인 존재감을 과시했다. 특히 이번 대회에서 보여준 압도적인 경기력은 골프 팬들의 이목을 집중시키기에 충분했다.
이번 우승의 결정적인 요인으로는 최근 교체한 새로운 퍼터가 꼽힌다. 차카라는 이번 대회 내내 정교한 퍼팅감을 선보이며 승부처마다 중요한 버디 퍼트를 성공시켰다. 새롭게 백(Bag)에 추가된 퍼터는 그에게 완벽한 거리감과 방향성을 제공하며 우승의 일등 공신 역할을 톡톡히 해냈다.
차카라의 'What's in the bag' 리스트 중에서도 단연 돋보였던 이 장비는 그의 2026년 시즌 상승세를 뒷받침하는 핵심 요소로 평가받는다. 우승 직후 인터뷰에서 드러난 그의 자신감은 장비에 대한 높은 신뢰도를 보여주었으며, 남은 시즌 동안 그가 보여줄 추가적인 활약에 대한 기대감을 높였다.
02Original (English) — DP World Tour
While precision over power was a strategy implemented by many, Eugenio Chacarra stood out with his showing on the greens as he became the first three-time winner on the DP World Tour this season at the DP World India Championship.
The Spaniard, who won titles in the Netherlands and Italy over back-to-back starts in June, was one of 112 players in the field to have a utility iron in his bag as he brought into play a one iron in favour of a three wood.
With the rough thicker at Delhi Golf Club compared to last year's inaugural edition, Chacarra was one of just 56 players - a drop of 24 on last year - teeing it up who had a driver.
With a premium placed on finding the fairways off the tee around the narrow 6,912-yard layout, Chacarra's caution paid off as he gained 0.51 strokes on the field in Strokes Gained Off the Tee.
But more impressive from a statistical standpoint was his showing on the greens, with his TaylorMade Spider Tour S putter - brought in at the BMW PGA Championship to replace the PXG Apache Battle Ready II - seeing him finish fifth for SG: Putting as he picked up 2.16 shots on average per round.
Apart from that, his bag was the same as for his two previous wins on the 2026 Race to Dubai.
Chacarra, who now leads the Race to Dubai Rankings Delivered by DP World, is next in action at this week's Genesis Championship in South Korea as he makes his 29th appearance of the season.
