Home hero Rafa Cabrera Bello set his sights on once again challenging for golf’s biggest titles after claiming his first win in four years at the Acciona Open de Espana.

The Spaniard defeated countryman Adri Arnaus on the first play-off hole in Madrid to lift the trophy and complete a remarkable return to form after claiming just one worldwide top 10 in 2021.
