Spain's Jon Rahm celebrates on the 18th green after winning the US PGA Tour Memorial to grab golf's number one world ranking AFP/SAM GREENWOODLOS ANGELES: Jon Rahm became the first Spaniard since Seve Ballesteros in 1989 to hold golf's world number one ranking, fending off a late challenge on Sunday to win the US PGA Memorial tournament.
Rahm led by eight shots through nine holes but dropped four strokes in a five-hole span on the back nine with a bogey at the 10th, double-bogey at 11 and a bogey at 14 to see Ryan Palmer pull within three. "Luckily, I pulled out probably the best short game shot I will ever have. That was unbelievable," Rahm said."For that to go in, that was exactly what I needed."Jack Nicklaus, the 18-time major winner who hosts the event at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio, called the shot"spectacular" as he congratulated Rahm with a fist bump at the 18th green.
England's Matthew Fitzpatrick was third on 283 after a closing 68 while Australia's Jason Day and England's Matt Wallace shared fourth on 284.
