Jon Rahm Rodríguez (born 10 November 1994[2]) is a Spanish professional golfer. He was the number one golfer in the World Amateur Golf Ranking and was the low amateur at the 2016 U.S. Open.

Amateur career

Born in Barrika, Spain, Rahm played collegiate golf for the Arizona State Sun Devils where he won 11 college tournaments.[3][4] He is a two-time recipient of the Ben Hogan Award.[5] Rahm was the number one ranked golfer in the World Amateur Golf Ranking for 60 weeks and received the Mark H. McCormack Medal in 2015. He was the individual winner at the 2014 Eisenhower Trophy. He was the low amateur at the 2016 U.S. Open, finishing in a tie for 23rd place at 7 over par.[6]

Professional career

After the U.S. Open, Rahm turned professional and played in the Quicken Loans National, which meant that he forfeited his exemption into the 2016 Open Championship. In his first event as a professional Rahm held or shared the lead for the first two rounds and eventually finished third, four strokes back of Billy Hurley III. The finish was enough for Rahm to regain entry into The Open, as the Quicken Loans National was part of the Open Qualifying Series. Rahm finished T-2 at the RBC Canadian Open, securing Special Temporary Member status for the remainder of the season. He secured enough points as a non-member to earn a PGA Tour card. On January 29, 2017, he won the Farmers Insurance Open with a 60-foot eagle putt on the final hole.
