The 29-year-old was visually emotional after his victory: “It’s just emotional, you know. It hasn’t been the easiest year for our family. Kelly [his wife] and I have gone through quite a bit and she has gone through even more, being on bed rest and many other things.


“She did tell me our son Kepa said to bring a trophy home on this stretch of golf and I started to believe it was going to happen at one point today – maybe not in the last 20 minutes but at least I can bring one home for them.


“To get over the hump feels quite incredible and it’s just relief that it happened.”

Rahm also captained his Legion XIII team to their fourth team victory at -26, beating Ripper GC in second and Smash GC and Crushers GC in joint-third place.


On the PGA Tour, Jhonattan Vegas won his first tournament since 2017 at the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities. Ireland’s Seamus Power finished tied 37th at -7.
