Jon Rahm wins the Open de Espana

Jon Rahm was won his maiden European Tour event, with a three shot victory over Ireland's Paul Dunne.

Here's Rahm's winning putt on the 18th:

Rahm dropped just one shot today, and made six birdies to post a winning five under 67, to add to rounds of 66, 67 and 68. You just cannot argue with four sub-seventy rounds.

In all, he made 21 birdies across his four rounds, two eagles and only had 3 bogeys and a single double bogey on the par four 12th on day. With this fantastic consistency he was a very worthy winner.

We had backed Ireland's Paul Dunne for his second European Tour victory at a handsome 22/1, following the advice of our betting guru Nick Fleming. Fortunately, we had gone each way, as he came in second.

Dunne had a disappointing final day, with four birdies off set by three bogeys to card a final round of 71, and finish 3 shots adrift of Rahm.

The round of the day went to George Coetzee, who shot a magnificent nine under 63 to rocket up the leaderboard. It was a classic 'there's no pressure on me, let's see what I can do' charge, and he finished on -16, one shot behind the other local favourite Nacho Elvira.

But the day belonged to the 23-year-old Rahm, who was the World No 4 before this victory. I cannot wait to see him follow in Seve's footsteps as a Ryder Cup competitor.
