John Rahm clinched his second consecutive LIIV golf title with a strong 11under showing Sunday in Indianapolis to earn $18 million over his rival Neman. Spanish golfer John Rom once again edged Chilean golfer Neman for the LIV golf title, capturing his second consecutive honor with an impressive minus22 overall in Indianapolis on Sunday. The win nets the 30-year-old $18 million in prize money. Rom despite shooting 11 under on Sunday was not the weekend’s li victor. That honor went to Sebastian Munoz Neman’s teammate with Torque GC. Munoz shot a 59 on Friday a professional golf record in a round also featuring a double bogey. Neman who won five times this year to ROM zero has previously suggested LIV golf change its point structure as he came up just short in the overall standings. Still, he was affusive about his Spanish rival when speaking after Sunday’s event. It was quite a show by John. I obviously played with him today, and I knew it was going to be a good battle, the Chilean said. It was going to be a long day. I knew I needed to play well. I knew Jon was playing amazing golf lately. Neman finished tied for fourth on the weekend at minus 17. I played good. I started playing my best golf on the back nine, which I’m proud of it, but at the end of the day, the putts didn’t drop and it wasn’t enough, he said. Rahm, fresh off consecutive playoff losses, finished the year with four runners up finishes and eight top 10s. He was tepid and embracing his overall title. Still slightly bittersweet, the Spaniard said about how he’s feeling. Like, I know I’m supposed to be happy. It’s a great moment, but it just doesn’t feel great to finish the year losing two playoff games. Have a great Sunday today and then hit the pin and an unfortunate moment on the playoff hole. He was also quick to praise Neman. You need a lot of coincidences to go on exactly with the year Waqin had. Rahm said he’s won five times. He’s played incredible golf. One could argue that he was probably the more deserving guy to win this.
