Jon Rahm Wins Abu Dhabi Title for Record-Breaking Sixth Rolex Series Crown
ABU DHABI — Jon Rahm won the DP World Tour's Abu Dhabi championship on November 8 at Yas Links in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, closing with a 67 for a 23-under-par total of 265 and a two-shot victory, a record-breaking sixth Rolex Series title. The event carried a $9 million purse, with Rahm earning $1.53 million.
Making his Abu Dhabi debut, Rahm posted rounds of 65, 67, 66 and 67. England's Tyrrell Hatton closed with a 68 to finish second at 21 under. Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy was third at 19 under, and Italy's Francesco Laporta fourth at 17 under.
The final round was tight: as late as the 11th hole, Rahm, Hatton, Laporta and McIlroy were tied at 20 under. Rahm then birdied the 12th and 15th, where his 6-iron approach was, in his words, a contender for his shot of the year, and closed with three straight pars to seal the win. Laporta fell out of contention with a triple bogey at the 13th.
The title is Rahm's 11th on the DP World Tour and his first victory on the tour since leaving LIV Golf. He turns 32 on Tuesday, November 10, and his fourth child was born last month.
In the Race to Dubai rankings, McIlroy rose to second behind leader Eugenio Chacarra. The season finale, the DP World Tour Championship, will be played November 12-15 at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai. (Source: DP World Tour)
