The opening tournament of the PGA Tour 2023 has officially ended with a convincing victory of Jon Rahm. Despite being 7 strokes ahead of Morikawa before the final round, the Spaniard made a spectacular comeback to win the Sentry TOC 2023 championship.
In the front-nine, Morikawa seemed to have secured the championship when he scored 3 birdies in a row on holes 1-4-6 with a score of -27. However, he failed to keep up his form and repeatedly made bogey mistakes on holes 14-15-16 and fell behind with -24. The birdie on the last 18 hole only helped Morikawa to finish in the military position with a record of -25.
Meanwhile, the Spaniard got a bogey on the first hole. But Rahm suddenly accelerated when he recorded a series of 9 birdies on holes 2-4-5-6-9-12-13-14-18 and an eagle on hole 15. He finished with a record of 63 - 10 brings the total to -27, surpassing Morikawa.
