Jon Rahm stormed to victory at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open yesterday.
The 22 year old hit a final round of 65 to finish the day on 24 under par, setting a new tournament record in the process.
Richie Ramsey and Matthew Southgate were his closest challengers on 18 under.
Rahm is the fourth Spaniard to win the event after Seve Ballesteros, Jose Maria Olazabal and Sergio Garcia.
He says it’s a privilege to have his name among those winners.
Gavin Moynihan was the story of the day from an Irish perspective.
The Dubliner hit a stunning round of 64 to finish up on 13 under par and a tie for 14th place.
That meant he finished best of the Irish ahead of Shane Lowry on 12 under, Padraig Harrington on 9 under and Paul Dunne on 7 under par.
