Alejandro Rodríguez qualifies for the 2026 Spanish Open with a 61
Congratulations, Alejandro. Alejandro Rodríguez, a player on the Codex Golf Linces team, has sealed his place in the Open de España Masculino presented by Madrid 2026 with a card of 61 (-11) at the qualifier held at the Centro Nacional de Golf. It was a round nobody on the leaderboard could match, and it opens the door to the biggest event in Spanish golf.
At Codex Golf we are proud to see Alejandro Rodríguez go through. Behind a card like that lie hours of practice, smart decisions on every hole and a cool head to keep the rhythm going once the birdies start to drop. Today the spotlight is all his.
Alejandro Rodríguez and the 61 nobody could match
Qualifiers are unforgiving. They are played over a single day, with no room to recover from a bad start, and only the best players on the day earn their ticket. In that setting, Alejandro Rodríguez signed for 61, 11 under par, a flawless performance that nobody else on the course could equal.
It is the kind of round people remember. Alejandro Rodríguez did not just get through the qualifier; he did it at the top of the leaderboard, with a card that speaks for itself about the form he is in.
The Linces badge at the biggest event in Spanish golf

For the team, seeing Alejandro Rodríguez at the Open de España Masculino presented by Madrid 2026 is also a reminder of why this project exists: to support talented, ambitious players on their competitive journey, and to be there when the big moments arrive. The whole Codex Golf team will be cheering him on from outside the ropes.
The work behind a round like this
A 61 does not happen by chance. It is the result of a reliable swing under pressure, good course management and preparation that is looked after all season long. That is what Alejandro Rodríguez showed at the qualifier, and it is what defines the players who go on to compete at the highest level.
At Codex Golf we work on those same foundations every day with players, academies and clubs: purposeful training, swing analysis and method. If you run a club or an academy and want your sports project to bring this kind of joy, we will tell you how we do it.
In the meantime, we are sticking with what matters: Alejandro Rodríguez will be at the Spanish Open, and he gets there with one of those rounds people will be talking about for a long time. Congratulations, Alejandro, and go for it.
