Odds in Eugenio Chacarra’s favour as Race to Dubai reaches final stretch

Europe captain Luke Donald’s foresight in including Spain’s Eugenio Chacarra among the potential Ryder Cup players invited for a site visit at Adare Manor a day after last month’s Irish Open was, it would seem already, an inspired move.

Chacarra’s victory in the DP World India Championship – his third success of the season on the European Tour – brought with it the twin benefits of leapfrogging him to the top of Ryder Cup qualifying as well as to the top of the Race to Dubai standing with just three tournaments remaining.
