The leaderboard was crowded on Sunday, felt like no one wanted to win. But as the back nine progressed, dudes just fell by the way side. Bryson deChambeau fell the furthest finishing 26th, but Harris English, Brooks Koepka, Russell Henley, Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa slowly peeled away from Louis Oosthuizen and it felt like the South African was gonna take it. But Jon Rahm exploded to the finish line birdying 17 and 18, stole it right out from under Oosthuizen. Oosthuizen needed to finish strong and went big on 17, put the ball in the drink off the tee and that was it. On 18 it felt like he had already made his peace and just wanted to secure 2nd place.
Great win for Jon Rahm, especially on Father's Day where we got to see him lovin' on his newborn (and his super hot wife).
Weird observation: Torrey Pines was not particularly telegenic. I would've thought that San Diego in the summer would look better on my TV but frankly it did not.
