Rahm closed with a 4-under 68 to finish at 13 under at JCB Golf & Country Club, a stroke ahead of Hatton (69), season points leader Joaquinꩲ-Niemann (65) and defendin🃏g champion Cameron-Smith (69).
“Finally got one done,” said Rahm, who has fought a foot problem this season. “You never want to 𝔍get those feelings tܫo go on for too long, and to get over the hump feels great incredible.
It's been a fantastic week and a fantastic year, and j💟ust relieved that it🔯 happened. … Feels like I got a lot of weight off my shoulders on that one.”
On the par-4 18th, Hatton hit a 75-foot putt to 5 fe💃et and missed the par try to hand Rahm his first victory since the 2023 Masters. Rahm and Hatton led Legion XII𝔉I to the team title.
“Obviously, you always want to win,” Rahm said. “Selfishly, you always want ౠto get that done. But you don't want to see a teammate and a good friend missing a putt for that to happen for me.
It's a bit of an unusual situation that I don't thi⛄nk any of us are used to.”
Rahm is one seven LIV players in the Olympics next week at Le Golf National outside Paris.
The 29-year-old Spanish star joined LꦺIV in Dec🌸ember.
Hatton, the Nashvilleꦆ winner in June, played in the group behind R✱ahm.
“Still pretty raw 🎃for me as an individual,” Hatton said. “It's kind of hard to put that to one the side. Golf is generally an individual sport.
