Mexico Open leader Jon Rahm capped his four-year college career at Arizona State by winning the Jack Nicklaus Award, given to the top men’s player in the country. Two years prior, that prestigious honor went to Patrick Rodgers.
“Still one of the career highlights for me is winning the Jack Nicklaus Award,” said Rodgers, who won 11 times in three seasons at Stanford. “That's where I met him for the first time. It's turned into a really spectacular relationship.”
As a resident of Jupiter, Florida, and member at Nicklaus’ club, The Bear’s Club, Rodgers still sees the 18-time major champion often.
