Former Sun Devil golfer and two-time Ben Hogan Award winner, Jon Rahm, continued his hot play on the PGA-Tour, winning the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open with a final-round 65 on Sunday.

The victory came amidst controversy however, when he incorrectly replaced his ball on the sixth green on Friday, but he was cleared of any wrongdoing by the PGA later in his round.

The fact that Rahm wasn’t assessed a one-stroke penalty caused an uproar by fans on social media, and rightfully so.
