Jon Rahm began the week as the betting favorite to win the PGA Tour’s inaugural Mexico Open. He finished it as the wire-to-wire winner. Here’s everything you need to know from Sunday’s final round at Vidanta in Vallarta, Mexico:
Leaderboard: Jon Rahm (-17), Kurt Kitayama (-16), Brandon Wu (-16), Tony Finau (-16), Davis Riley (-15)
How it happened: Rahm opened the week with a 7-under 64 that tied Kitayama for the first-round lead. He then built a two-shot lead after 54 holes. While Rahm's final-group mates Kitayama and Cameron Champ, who both birdied three of their first seven holes, tied Rahm's lead at 16 under midway through the front nine, Rahm never lost his hold on the solo lead thanks to birdies at Nos.
