NEWS: Jon Rahm is a Major Champion, and Your New World No. 1

Just two weeks after the devastation that was getting pulled off the course due to a positive COVID test, Jon Rahm has found redemption with a Father’s day win at the US Open.

Rahm finished the tournament -6, one shot ahead of Louis Oosthuizen.

An overall stellar round, capped off by two gutsy birdie putts on both 17 and 18, secured the victory, as well as vaulted Rahm into the World No. 1 ranking.

Rahm’s only setback on Sunday was a bogey on 4.

An amazing victory for the new father, who showed great mental toughness to come back from such a terrible situation a few weeks prior.
