Move over Rory McIlroy, we have a new number one player in the world.
Sports fans were treated to the most dominant performance since the PGA’s return, as Jon Rahm (-9) won the Memorial Tournament on Sunday. Rahm pulled away from Ryan Palmer (-6) to emerge victorious for the fourth time in his career and claimed the top spot for the first time in his career. With the victory, Rahm surpassed Rory McIIroy (+4) who finished T32 in the Memorial.
Rahm, who entered as the sixth overall betting choice at odds of 22/1 to win the event, was outstanding the entire tournament.
