"That was a tough week and a tough Sunday," Rahm told CBS. "Max battled out there and Patrick kind of gave us a scare and I'm just glad I could come through at the end. "Beating Seve, I know he didn't play full time on the PGA Tour and I know five of those wins are majors, but still, to reach that milestone of double digit wins is pretty incredible. "And to do it at a golf course with this legacy, this history and hosted by the man himself, Tiger Woods, it's a true honour."
