Golf Jon Rahm’s grand final round
He PGA Tour find as winner the Dustin Johnson, the golfer who entered the The Tour Championship with the bonus of 10 under par and who held the lead all four days.
Except for the first day with pressure from Jon Rahm, no one worried less than two blows to the one from South Carolina, who he took home the $ 15 million check to become the golfer in history with the most prize money, $ 82 million, after Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. With 23 victories on the American Circuit, the following goal is already serious: equaling Gary Player in wins.
Johnson, the world number 1, was confirmed as the best golfer on the course. Three victories in the last 10 weeks, Travelers, Northern and The Tour vindicate a golfer who adds a wonderful short game to his big punch. He is 36 years old, an age at which he is seen at the peak. It is the level that if he had reached him younger he would not have that decompensation in the Majors: 1 win (US Open 2016) and four second places in the remaining big three, twice in a row in the PGA (2019 and 2020). “The victory in the FedEx Cup rounds out my career,” Johnson said before the awards ceremony.
Yesterday, when there was more tension, Johnson He put an 11-meter putt on the 13th hole for par and again opened the gap to three with Thomas y Schauffele, that would still instantly approach two strokes. Dustin played comfortably, on the basis of pairs after the pothole of holes 7 and 8, each bogey. She pinned 18 with a birdie, after a nice bunker serve.
Rahm showed the attitude announced the day before and only one mistake in a fairway bunker at 4, where he did not get her out of the sand – despite dominating that stat around the green in the tournament with 9 saves of 9 – and that resulted in a double ‘bogey ‘, it kept him from truly fighting for the title.

But the spirit of Barrika’s was wonderful. He immediately made the second birdie and made an ‘eagle’ on hole 6 and almost another on hole 12, where he nailed a ‘wedge’ from 106 meters to a finger of the hole. He signed 66 shots to finish fourth, a spot better than 2018, and scooped a check for three million dollars.
His course on the PGA Tour has been brilliant. With two victories as important as the Memorial and the BMW, Rahm has won the poster of favorite in all the tournaments. The greatness of his strokes, the one from the rough that amazed Nicklaus a month ago, and the putt eight days ago to win the tiebreaker against Dustin Johnson, convey that he is a player who under pressure grows even more. And that does not see an impossible horizon. In two weeks, face the US Open.
