The Open de Espana makes its return to the European Tour after being left off the schedule in 2017, which means Andrew Johnston defends the title he won at Valderrama two years ago.

While Valderrama is a tight, twisting golf course considered by many to be the spiritual home of the European Tour, the event now switches to the capital and Centro Nacional de Golf and you don't need to be a great linguist to work out what that means.

As such, Jon Rahm's name at the top of the entry list stands out. Rahm is a class above each and every member of this field and he honed his skills at the national centre for two years before heading to study in Arizona. The rest, as they say, is history.

Rahm has won in the desert, on the links and by the sea, and there's no reason this undulating, exposed golf course won't play to his strengths. While his familiarity with the venue might not really count for all that much, his latent ability certainly does and he'll win this doing handsprings if in the form he showed at Augusta last week.
