Emotional Jon Rahm secures first LIV Golf win after Hatton’s 3-putt finish
Jon Rahm put his hand to his forehead and tried to hold back tears, but some might have escaped.
He battled mixed emotions; his Legion XIII teammate, Tyrrell Hatton, had just three-putted his final hole at LIV Golf’s United Kingdom stop at JCB Golf & Country Club on Sunday. For Hatton, one putt would have won, two would have forced a playoff and anything worse handed Rahm his long-awaited first LIV win.
From 65 feet, 10 inches, Hatton nestled it to about 6 feet away, but the par save missed on the low end and Rahm, who was looking on from off the green, was the winner.
Finally.
