Red Hot Rahm Wins Twice In As Many Weeks
-
Fourth-ranked Jon Rahm endured a frustrating day on the greens, but his four-under-par 68 was enough to hold off rookie Davis Thompson and claim a second US PGA Tour title in as many weeks at the American Express tournament.
Spain's Rahm, who opened the year with a victory in the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii, had five birdies on the Stadium Course in La Quinta, California, finishing with a 27-under-par total of 261.
Thompson, who started the day tied with Rahm for the lead, carded a three-under 69 for 262.
“I was burning edges all day. I hit a lot of great putts, it's just golf," Rahm said of a multitude of putts that didn't drop.
