Jon Rahm and Ryan Palmer won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans team event by three shots from Tommy Fleetwood and Sergio Garcia.
Overnight leaders Rahm and Palmer shot a closing three-under 69 to finish on 26 under, and edge out the all European pairing of Fleetwood and Garcia by three shots.
The win was the 42-year-old Palmer’s first on the PGA Tour in more than nine years, while Rahm now has three wins in three years. The duo paired up because Jordan Spieth – who played with Palmer at the event last year – was not taking part, and Wesley Bryan – Rahm’s partner in 2018 – is recovering from shoulder surgery.
“It’s been incredible,” Rahm said. “The way it happened – he started off playing great, I kind of struggled and then I came through in the middle, and then he finished it off – it was amazing. To win as a team, it’s something you don’t get to feel very often in golf. I hope it happens again.”
