The golf star was later spotted celebrating on the green with his wife Kelly Cahill and the couple's baby Kepa, who stole the spotlight with a thoroughly unimpressed expression at his father's win.

Rahm's victory marks a turnaround after he was forced to withdraw from the Memorial earlier this month after he tested positive for COVID-19, the New York Post reports.

The withdrawal was all the more disappointing, as Rahm had tied the 54-hole record, sending him towards joining Tiger Woods as the only repeat winner.

Rahm coasted to take the trophy home after using a downhill birdie putt on the 18th hole to finish at 6-under.
