World number two Scottie Scheffler missed a chance to supplant Rory McIlroy atop the world rankings.
JON RAHM FIRED nine birdies and an eagle in a 10-under par 63 on Sunday to surge past faltering Collin Morikawa and win the US PGA Tour Tournament of Champions by two strokes.The Waterford man made a bright start in Hawaii, but had fallen down the leaderboard by Sunday. He shot birdies on the third, fifth and ninth, but it wasn’t enough as he finished on 15-under overall.
Morikawa, whose bogeys at the 14th, 15th and 16th were his first of the week, carded a one-under par 72 for 25-under 267. “It sucks,” he said. “You work so hard and you give yourself opportunities and just bad timing on bad shots and it kind of added up really quickly.”
