Brooks Koepka wins the LIV Singapore and Jon Rahm gets another top 10

In two weeks in Valhalla (Kentucky), Jon Rahm will reach the second major of the season. He will do it without victories in the year, although with a full of 'top 10' in the LIV Golf, seven of seven, a very applauded record at the time when he played in tournaments with 150 players, but now, in that league where only 54 players participate, is no longer so acclaimed.

The Spaniard in this stage of Singapore did not dispute the victory to the winner Brooks Koepka, and although he was immersed in the team fight, it was the Australian Ripper, thanks to the final performance of his captain Cameron Smith (64 strokes) and Marc Leishman (66), who repeated the triumph of seven days ago in Adelaide.

Rahm's 67 strokes, five birdies and a bogey, ended with a great 10-meter putt in another day of maximum humidity in Sentosa. In the overall standings he holds second place behind Joaquin Niemann, the Chilean who finished seventh and opened some distance.

Koepka, defending champion of the PGA Championship, added his fourth victory in the circuit, the first to reach this figure.

He strung together two consecutive early birdies as he has done all week - this time on the par-5 4th hole and the next - and was harassed when with four to go - two to go for his opponents - Leishman and Smith were within one stroke.

The five-time major winner played a wedge to within three yards of the hole on the 15th with a downhill putt and opened up distance again.

Leishman would still narrow it back to one, but ended up making a bogey on his final hole. He went on to win with 15 under par.

"When you play with an advantage, you do that. You don't have to force anything," the winner recounted. "When you leave yourself some shots to wedge try to take advantage of them.

"I think I did that on 15. I feel a lot better now than I did last week, I needed results to corroborate that we are on the right track, although in two weeks things can change. Golf is a lot of comings and goings, ebbs and flows."

Along with Rahm finished Eugenio Lopez Chacarra (68), whose final effort, four birdies in the last five holes, was also enough to drag the Fireballs to second place in the team standings.

Sergio Garcia (68), who shared a match with Rahm, finished fourteenth and David Puig (68), twenty-seventh.

The next stop for the LIV will be Houston, the week of June 7-9, on the eve of the US Open.
