SAN DIEGO — SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jon Rahm’s road to becoming a U.S. Open champion might have started with a pair of bogeys.
It ended with a pair of birdies at Torrey Pines that will be far more memorable. In the previous 120 editions of the U.S. Open, no one had ever birdied the last two holes for a one-shot victory.
The result was pure euphoria for Rahm, a 26-year-old Spaniard known for power and passion, and it's the latter that always got more attention.
That's what took him back to a month ago at Kiawah Island.
