Rahm (66) defends title at Spanish Open; beats Seve's Euro Tour record

MADRID – Jon Rahm won the Spanish Open for a second consecutive year on Sunday, beating Seve Ballesteros' record for the fastest Spaniard to reach five European Tour wins.

Golfing great Ballesteros needed 49 events to get 5 wins on the tour. The 24-year-old Rahm did so in 39 tournaments after shooting a 5-under 66 on the final round to finish 22 under and win by five strokes.

"In front of a home crowd, it's always really hard for me to keep everything under control and to play the weekend that I did for them," Rahm said.
