Rahm fired an eagle, eight birdies and two bogeys at Lahinch to finish 16 under par, two shots clear of England\u2019s Andy Sullivan and Bernd Wiesberger, the Austrian having the consolation of qualifying for the upcoming Open Championship.<\/p>\n
Overnight leader Robert Rock also secured a place in the year\u2019s final major with a tie for fourth with fellow Englishman Eddie Pepperell and Spain\u2019s Rafa Cabrera Bello.<\/p>\n
Paul Waring secured the final berth at Royal Portrush thanks to a birdie on the last in a closing 66.<\/p>\n
Cabrera Bello had surged into a three-shot lead with three birdies in the first five holes, but started the back nine with four bogeys in six holes as Rahm piled on the pressure.<\/p>\n
After covering the front nine in 31, Rahm birdied the 10th and holed from 25 feet for an eagle on the 12th before recovering from a bogey on the next with birdies on the 14th, 15th and 17th.<\/p>\n
\u201cI keep saying I love this tournament, I love the country, I love the people,\u201d said Rahm, who played the last 36 holes in 14 under after a 64 on Saturday. \u201cI feel like I\u2019m at home every time I come here.<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew I had to do something amazing today to have a chance and that eagle on 12 got me going.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy target was 15 under and I never thought I\u2019d get to 16 under without a birdie on the last but I\u2019m definitely thrilled with the back nine.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Seve (Ballesteros) is the only Spanish player to have won this event twice so it\u2019s very special to add my name to the trophy again.\u201d<\/p>\n
