Looking back at Jon Rahm's tear through last 12 months as he gets set to defend Mexico Open title
CBSN
Rahm has picked up seven in 24 tournaments, including his second major championship
This time last year, Jon Rahm was going into the Mexico Open with just one top-10 finish in his previous five PGA Tour stroke-play events, a non-competitive Masters in which he played with Tiger Woods in the final round and finished T27 and just one victory since the summer of 2020.
Things, you might say, have changed.
Rahm won that Mexico Open by one over Tony Finau, Kurt Kitayama and Brandon Wu, and he has not stopped winning since. He's racked up seven victories in his last 24 events worldwide, including four (!) on the PGA Tour this year. Oh yeah, and comes in as the reigning Masters champion.
