Rahm holed out an amazing 31-foot chip shot at the par-3 16th and, despite a two-stroke penalty that turned it from a birdie to a bogey, took a three-stroke victory over American Ryan Palmer that boosted him over Rory McIlroy atop the rankings.
It has been a goal since I was 13-, 14-years-old, said Rahm, among the Spanish youth inspired by the feats of Ballesteros, a five-time major champion and one of Europe’s greatest golfers. Seve is a very special player to all of us, and to be second to him, it's a true honour, Rahm said. Anytime I can join Seve at anything, it's incredible.
