Superstars are made in Hollywood.
Add Jon Rahm to the long list. The red-hot Spaniard claimed his third victory in five starts on TOUR, winning The Genesis Invitational with a 17-under total at The Riviera Country Club, two strokes clear of fellow California king Max Homa.
Rahm began the day three clear of Homa, who has won twice in California this season, and Homa rallied to take a one-stroke lead early on the final nine. But the pendulum swung back quickly; Rahm’s 3-foot birdie on the par-3 16th opened up a two-shot cushion, and the newly minted world No. 1 closed with two pars to collect his 10th TOUR win, passing his idol Seve Ballesteros.
“To reach that milestone of double-digit wins is pretty incredible,” Rahm said. “To do it at a golf course with this legacy, this history, and hosted by the man himself Tiger Woods is a true honor.”
The win at Riviera cemented Rahm’s spot at No. 1 in the FedExCup.
