‘Relieved’ Rahm wins LIV Golf event in Hong Kong

HONGKONG: Jon Rahm said he was “very relieved” after scoring a final-round 64 to win the LIV Golf event in Hong Kong by three shots on Sunday. It was the 31-year-old Spaniard’s first victory since LIV Golf Chicago in 2024 and ended a run of four runner-up finishes on the Saudi-backed circuit. “Very relieved, just happy I could enjoy the walk down the 18th,” the two-time major champion said at Hong Kong Golf Club after finishing on 23-under, with Thomas Detry of Belgium second. “I played really good all day,” said Rahm, who made eight birdies against two bogeys in his final round at Fanling.
