Spaniard Jon Rahm won golf superstar Tiger Woods’ PGA tournament in Pacific Palisades, California. By winning the Genesis Invitational near Los Angeles, the 28-year-old went back to the top of the world rankings. Host Woods returned to the US tour to finish the $20 million tournament in 45th place, level with Sepp Straka. Matthias Schwab ended up in 50th place.
For Rahm it is already the third success on the PGA Tour this year. On the final day in the Riviera Country Club he played a round of 69 and won with a total of 267 strokes ahead of the two Americans Max Homa (269) and Patrick Cantlay ( 270). Straka played a round of 72 on the final day, which meant a total of 283 shots. Schwab got 71 and noted 284. “I’m satisfied with my Golf. The development fits. There were slight improvements in the world and FedEx rankings again,” said Schwab.
