Jon Rahm: What clubs did the former World No.1 use to win Open de Espana?
Jon Rahm shot an emphatic 62 on Sunday at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid to win the acciona Open de Espana by six shots.
Jon Rahm was almost speechless after winning the acciona Open de Espana for the third time. The pride in his words was clear as he equalled the great Seve Ballesteros' total at the event.
"You might need to ask me in a few days because I take quite a while to process these things," the Spaniard said after thrilling his home crowd with a final-day score of 62.
"It was the goal coming in; Seve is a great hero of mine and to do something he took his whole career to do in just a few years is quite humbling.
"It’s emotional. Going up the 18th hole I knew what was about to happen and to get it done like that, I can’t describe it.
"He (Seve) wasn’t really somebody I really thought of that much until I got better at golf, because obviously I wasn’t good until I was like 13 or 14 and when I started getting better, I learned a lot about him and what he did."

Rahm made eight birdies and an eagle on a day that belonged to the 27-year-old at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid. His first two wins in this event came in 2018 and 2019.
In his victory speech, the former US Open champion and World No.1 also congratulated his fellow Spaniard Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra for winning the LIV Golf Bangkok Invitational.
Earlier in the week, Rahm called for the Ryder Cup to rise above the tension between LIV Golf and the PGA and DP World Tours, declaring it is the US versus Europe.
