The 43-year-old from Ratingen played an impressive round of 61 at the end of the Open de Espana on Sunday. This meant that Siem moved up to shared fourth place on the final leaderboard with a total of 267 strokes.

“The lowest round of the WEEK. I can hardly describe how happy I am with this achievement and this tournament,” Siem wrote on his Instagram account. The veteran from the Rhineland scored nine holes on the par 71 course on the final day, including two eagles.
