Greatness is measured by being best in your sport. Winning one of the elite tournaments in your sport to propel you to that is also a great way to demonstrate greatness. Both were achieved by our Sportsman of the week. John Rahm distanced himself from the field enough at The Memorial to make the back 9 nearly irrelevant. With up to a six stroke lead at times, Rahm proved he was at the top of his game. On a Sunday when the course was bringing players to their knees (only one player in the Final Top 9 finished under par), he managed to mitigate damage with a 3 stroke win. With the win, the Spaniard is now Tops in the World. Plenty of golf to play in 2020 including deferred majors, but he is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week.
