Rahm said that while he was upset that Finau’s (second) breakthrough victory came at his expense, it was still special to see him get it done, for a number of reasons.
A day after Hurricane Henri passed through America’s north-east and delayed the Northern Trust’s final round, Finau returned to Liberty National Golf Club and played like a man who hadn’t won in five years.
Sometimes, if we’re lucky, the man and the moment collide on the 72nd hole, producing transcendence. Think Seve at St Andrews or Tiger at Torrey or Phil at Augusta. Time will tell if Jon Rahm deserves to share the same sentence as those legends.
