Rahm entered Sunday’s round tied for ninth on the leaderboard. He needed a strong regular-season finale to best Niemann, who carried a slim 12.27 points advantage into the event in hopes of becoming the league’s fourth different individual points winner.

Rahm helped Legion III take the team event a week after successfully defending his LIV Golf season points title in Indiana, a tournament where he closed with a 60 before losing a playoff to Sebastian Munoz.
