How much did Matthieu Pavon win from the €1,750,000 prize money at Madrid?

Matthieu Pavon has finally registered his first-ever victory on the DP World Tour after he defeated Zander Lombard by a huge margin of four strokes to win the Open de Espana at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, Spain.

For his victory, the French professional golfer was awarded a paycheck of €523,823.04 out of the €1,750,000 prize money. Interestingly, at the same event last year, he ended up as runner-up, trailing behind Jon Rahm by a huge margin of six strokes.

After his win at Open de Espana at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, Spain, Matthieu Pavon spoke in a post-round interview. In a tearful voice, he was quoted by RTE as saying,

"That was a very long wait. Seven years on tour and I didn't have a win yet. But it really was worth it."

Pavon shared the reason behind the emotional moment as he revealed his grandfather lived in Spain and now winning the tournament in Madrid was not letting him hold his tears back.

"A part of my heart is here in Spain. My grandfather lived here. It was really hard to keep the tears inside but now I can let it go a little bit," Pavon said.
