Jon Rahm makes historic comeback in Hawaii
On Sunday, Jon Rahm made nine birdies and an eagle to beat Collin Morikawa at Kapalua. The Spaniard came from as many as nine strokes behind as Morikawa made a slip to forget in the final round. Rahm, who finished runner-up to Cameron Smith at the event last year, ensured he came out on top this time.
Jon Rahm took advantage of Morikawa’s back-to-back blunders in the final round. The American was visibly off pace in the last few shots. Following the defeat, the golfer revealed that he felt “sadness.”
Speaking to the media after shooting a final-round 72, Morikawa said:
“I don’t know. It sucks. You work so hard and you give yourself these opportunities and just bad timing on bad shots and kind of added up really quickly.”
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old Spaniard was over the moon after completing the comeback. Calling himself the best in the world, the golfer said:
“You need a combination of both. Me having a really good day, which I did, and Collin not having his best… I feel like since August I’ve been the best player in the world. Earlier in the year clearly Scottie was that player, then Rory was that player, and I feel like right now it’s been me.”
It is pertinent to note that Jon Rahm is being dubbed as a favorite by experts to come out on top at major events this year.
