Rahm wins LIV Golf individual crown

LOS ANGELES, California — Spain's Jon Rahm fired four birdies — including a 12-footer at the 17th — to win LIV Golf Chicago on Sunday (Monday in Manila) and clinch the Saudi-backed circuit's individual season title worth $18 million.

The two-time major winner from Spain, who made the jump to the breakaway league last December, captured his second victory in the past three events, sandwiched around a runner-up finish to Brooks Koepka in a playoff at LIV Golf Greenbrier in August.
