(Getty Images) Teeing Off [RAHM CLOSES IN STYLE AT U.S. OPEN]( Jon Rahm won his first PGA TOUR event at Torrey Pines in 2017 at the Farmers Insurance Open. He proposed to his wife Kelley at Torrey Pines in 2018. On Sunday, Rahm spent his first Father’s Day as a dad at the same venue. Oh, and he also [won the U.S. Open](. The 26-year-old Spaniard dazzled the crowd in San Diego with two clutch birdies on the final two holes to capture his first major title, edging [Louis Oosthuizen]( by one shot. “I knew we were coming to a special place,” said Rahm, who earned his sixth PGA TOUR win. “I knew I got my breakthrough win here. It’s a very special place for my family. And the fact that my parents were able to come, I just felt like the stars were aligning.” Rahm shot 4-under 67, tied for the lowest round of the day. He drained a tough left-to-right putt from 15 feet for birdie on the 17th hole to tie the lead, then followed it with a similar-length birdie putt on the 18th. The crowd roared as Rahm unleashed a fist pump. He became the fourth player from Spain to win a major (Seve Ballesteros, Jose Maria Olazabal, Sergio Garcia) but the first to win the U.S. Open. He earned a whopping 600 FedExCup points and moved up 17 spots to No. 2 in the [FedExCup standings](.
