Dominant Rahm wins by 6 shots while his Legion XIII take the team title

MEXICO CITY: In case any of his pursuers had set their sights on the LIV Golf Mexico City 2026 individual title, Jon Rahm delivered a quick and decisive message on Sunday with a four-hole stretch that included three birdies and a tap-in eagle.

“If you would have told me last week on Thursday afternoon that I’d be winning by a six-shot margin this week, I would not have believed you because of how bad I played. Hell of an effort, and just what a Sunday.”

Entering the day with a two-stroke lead, Rahm opened with a par, then drove the 290-meter par-four second, where he two-putted from 20 meters for birdie.

He followed by driving the green again, this time at the 356-meter par-four third, his brilliant tee shot finishing inside 1 meter for eagle. Birdie putts from 4 meters and 6 meters on the next two holes extended his lead to six shots.

Meanwhile, his Legion XIII teammate Tyrrell Hatton, who started the day just two shots behind
