Rahm secures BMW win with monster birdie
Spain's Jon Rahm sunk a breathtaking 66-foot (20 metre) putt to win the BMW Championship on Sunday in a thrilling playoff victory over American Dustin Johnson.
The 25-year-old, who recently spent two weeks as world number one, shot a flawless six-under par 64 on Sunday, saving his best for last after carding a lacklustre five-over 75 in the first round.
Rocketing up the leaderboard on Sunday, Rahm then drained the long putt in the first hole of a playoff against Johnson, letting out an elated roar.
"Honestly I hoped it would be a decent putt for par coming back and have a chance to keep the playoff going. Luckily it looked really good on the way and when it had 10 feet to go it was tracking beautifully," Rahm said in a televised interview.
"I could hardly believe it."
