Rahm Wins First Liv Individual Title;

His Legion XIII Wins 4th Team Trophy

존람, 첫 LIV 개인 타이틀 획득

Legion XIII 팀 4번째 팀 트로피 획득

OCESTER, England – Prior to leaving for a four-week stretch of
Rtournaments in Europe, Jon Rahm was told by his wife Kelley
that their oldest child, Kepa, had a request.
Please bring home a trophy.
After a tie for 10th at LIV Golf Andalucía and a tie for 7th at last
week's Open Championship, Rahm fulfilled his son's request at LIV
Golf UK by JCB on Sunday.
In fact, the 29-year-old Spanish star earned two trophies, claiming

his first LIV Golf individual title while also leading Legion XIII to its
fourth team victory of the season.
"Just knowing I'm bringing a trophy home for them, it feels good to
see that it's coming home," said Rahm, who has one more tournament
left next week at the Olympics in his busy summer schedule.
It was a victory that had been eagerly anticipated since the two-
time major winner joined the league last December. But it was also
a bittersweet win as it came at the expense of his close friend and
Legion XIII teammate Tyrrell Hatton.
Rahm, playing in the group ahead of Hatton, finished off a final-
round 4-under 67 that left him at 13 under. Hatton was also at 13
under as he played the 18th hole. The Englishman, playing in front
of his home crowd, found the green in two, and then did well to
knock his 76-foot birdie putt to 5 feet.
