Jon Rahm of Spain captured his second PGA TOUR title of 2023 at PGA West.

LaQUINTA - Jon Rahm claimed his ninth career Tour title and wins in back-to-back starts on Tour, following his entry at The Sentry in Maui earlier this month. Rahm moved into the No. 1 in the FedEx Cup for the first time in his career.

Meanwhile, after an impressive performance over all four rounds, PGA Tour rookie Davis Thompson finishes runner-up in his 20th career start on the circuit.

Chris Kirk finished inside the Top Five in back-to-back starts on Tour for the first time since 2014 and Xander Schauffele made an albatross on the par-5 fifth hole and posted 10-under (62) to finish T-3 with Kirk.

Scottie Scheffler (T-11/-22) missed a birdie putt from 21’ 6” on the 18th hole that would have elevated him back to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
