BMW PGA Championship – Day Four – Wentworth Golf Course

Jon Rahm is targeting a lengthy spell as world number one after openly admitting that reaching the summit was a sizeable goal which “sat on his brain” during the coronavirus lockdown.

Rahm replaced Rory McIlroy at the top of the rankings following his victory in the Memorial Tournament, the 25-year-old becoming just the second Spanish player after Seve Ballesteros to achieve the feat.
