“We’re a force to be reckoned with” – Jon Rahm heaps praise on his Legion XIII side after winning LIV Golf Mayakoba on debut

Jon Rahm-led Legion XIII aggregated at 24-under after three rounds to win the LIV Golf Maykoba, beating Bryson DeChambeau's Crusher GC by one shot.

Rahm's team consists of his Ryder Cup teammate Tyrrell Hatton, along with Kieran Vincent and college amateur turned pro Caleb Surratt. ThE team was finalized hardly a week ago, and a few days later they won their debut start on the LIV Golf.

Speaking at the post-round interview on Sunday, the Spaniard said he was proud of his team.

"I saw Tyrrell was killing it. I don't know what Caleb, and Kieran shot... But you know, I told Kieran on the race today was his day, kind of told Tyrrell jokingly. You know, be a nice, nice, nice day for Tyrrell. Haven't shot a 64, and I guess this was a 64. So, you know, I guess my encouraging was this morning's help for them," he said.
"I wish I could have used it for myself a little bit more, but I'm so proud of them. I'm proud of everybody. You know, like you said, this team was just assembled Monday, I believe Sunday or Monday, and we come in, and we made an impact, and everything was meant for that. So, we want to make an impact, and everybody knows we are a force to be reckoned with," Rahm added.
