Jon Rahm a quick study and a rising star

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- It took Jon Rahm four tournaments to secure a PGA Tour card out of college, and 12 events as a pro to deliver his first PGA Tour victory.

And it was far from routine.

The 22-year-old from Spain roared out of the pack to shoot 30 on the back nine at Torrey Pines, one of the toughest racks on the PGA Tour, and finish with a birdie and a 60-foot eagle putt to win the Farmers Insurance Open. He turned pro seven months ago and already is No. 46 in the world.
