Jon Rahm is the only European in history to win both the US Open and The Masters - and only Brian Harman denied him the chance to add The Open at Royal Liverpool in 2023.
It had been only three months earlier that he triumphed at Augusta National on what would have been the 66th birthday of Seve Ballesteros.
Rahm’s commanding four-stroke victory, which took him back to the world No.1 spot, followed a two-shot success in the 2021 US Open at Torrey Pines. This was also the scene of the first of his 11 PGA Tour wins.
He finished tied for third at Royal St George's in 2021, a year which saw him finish in the top eight of all four majors.
Rahm previously topped the amateur world rankings and set a scoring record at the 2014 World Amateur Team Championship – six better than the previous best by Jack Nicklaus – before embarking on a professional career which has seen him win ten DP World Tour events, including three Spanish Opens, three DP World Tour Championships and two Irish Opens. He also topped the Race to Dubai in 2019 and beat Tiger Woods on his Ryder Cup debut in Paris in 2018.
Was the top scorer for Europe in the 2021 defeat at Whistling Straits and was unbeaten in Rome's Ryder Cup.
