CARLSBAD, Calif. (May 30, 2023) – The champion of the KLM Open used Nippon Shaft’s N.S.PRO MODUS³ Hybrid Tour shaft in his utility iron Sunday (May 29) to win the KLM Open on the DP World Tour in The Netherlands.

It was the second European Tour victory in the last three weeks for the 40-year-old Spaniard, who holed a 21-foot putt on the final hole at Bernardus Golf Club to eek out a one-shot victory over his fellow countryman. He shot a 13-under par total with rounds of 66-73-67-69—275 and earned €316,649 or $324,409.
