Jon Rahm makes stunning comeback to win 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions
Jon Rahm started his 2023 by winning the first elevated event of the year, the Sentry Tournament of Champions. He was in the lead after the first round, but on Day 2, Collin Morikawa took over, followed by Scottie Scheffler. After the third round, Jon Rahm was at T5.
Jon Rahm was six shots behind on the 13th hole on Sunday, hitting three straight birdies, followed by a 12-foot eagle putt and a final birdie, and with that, he clinched the trophy.
It is important to note that Rahm finished second at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in 2022, where Australian golfer Cameron Smith registered his win.
Morikawa, who was in the lead, had gone 67 holes without a birdie and lost the tournament. Jon Rahm and Collin Morikawa competed in a neck-to-neck competition, and after the fourth round, Jon finished at 27 under par, 265, a two-shot lead over Collin.
Collin Morikawa finished second at 25 under 267, followed by Tom Hoge and Max Homa. Hoge and Homa both surprised people with their performances in the final round. Hoge, who was at T10 after round three, jumped to T3 in the last.
A championship performance for the ages.
