Hatton holds off Rahm to win second LIV title

He birdied the hole to increase his lead to two strokes over Rahm and three over Garcia. “I didn’t think if I landed on the green that I could keep it pin-high,” Hatton said of his wedge shot into the 16th hole. Rahm made a birdie with an up-and-down from the bunker beyond the green on the par-5 17th hole to remain one shot behind Hatton.

Hatton then hit his ball into the same bunker as Rahm and, like Rahm, converted the birdie opportunity. “He is a fierce competitor,” announcer Arlo White said. ” After a wayward drive on the 18th and final hole, Hatton punched out past the green. A beautiful chip shot to within a few feet secured the individual title for Hatton and the team title for Legion XIII.

Hatton's other victory came in 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee. Rahm closed with a 67 to finish alone in second and keep his place atop the points standings on LIV Golf, which now is off for nearly two months. Abraham Ancer (68) finished third, while Sergio García played the back nine with one bogey and no birdies for a 70 to finish fourth.

Joaquín Niemann stayed third in the points standings to earn a spot in the British Open. Thomas Detry would have needed to remain in second place alone to have any chance of moving into the top 60 for a chance to be exempt for the U.S. He had three early bogeys and never recovered, closing with a 74.

Legion XIII, the team with Rahm and Hatton, won the team competition by six shots. LIV Golf is now off for six weeks before resuming its final season with Saudi funding.
