How good is Jon Rahm? This year’s recipient of the Ben Hogan Award, the most prestigious award in men’s amateur golf, World Amateur No. 1, and first-team All-American continues to rack up accolades in the summer season. Sunday afternoon the Sun Devil senior successfully defended his title in the Spanish Amateur Championship at the Laukariz Country Club in Rahm’s native Spain, posting a 72-hole total of seven-under-par, finishing three ahead of runner-up Scott Fernandez.
Rahm, throughout his career, has had success playing on his home-turf, twice winning the Spanish Amateur (2014, ’15), while winning the Basque Country Championship in 2012, and the Spanish Junior Championship in 2010.
