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 Joaquin-Niemann (65) and defending champion Cameron-Smith (69).

바카라Finally got one done,바카라 said Rahm, who has fought a foot problem this season. 바카라You never want to get those feelings to 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 just relieved that it happened. 바카라 Feels like I got a lot of weight off my shoulders on that one.바카라

On the par-4 18th, Hatton hit a 75-foot putt to 5 feet and missed the par try to hand Rahm his first victory since the 2023 Masters. Rahm and Hatton led Legion XIII to the team title.

바카라Obviously, you always want to win,바카라 Rahm said. 바카라Selfishly, you always want to 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 think any of us are used to.바카라

Rahm is one seven LIV players in the Olympics next week at Le Golf National outside Paris.

The 29-year-old Spanish star joined LIV in December.

Hatton, the Nashville winner in June, played in the group behind Rahm.

바카라Still pretty raw for me as an individual,바카라 Hatton said. 바카라It's kind of hard to put that to one the side. Golf is generally an individual sport.
