The courses, the fans and the challenge of links golf make it a special week.\u201dAt Portstewart nine years ago, Rahm secured a dominant six-shot win for his maiden DP World Tour title, closing with a 65 to complete a commanding victory. He added a second triumph two years later at Lahinch, where a final-round 62 featuring eight birdies and an eagle saw him overturn a tie for ninth and finish two shots clear of Andy Sullivan and Bernd Wiesberger.Rahm, who was joint runner up in the US PGA Championship at Aronimink last month, will be part of a strong contingent of players from Team Europe playing in this year\u2019s Irish Open.He joins Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Tyrrell Hatton, Rasmus H\u00f8jgaard, and their Captain Luke Donald, all of whom have been confirmed so far along with Ireland\u2019s P\u00e1draig Harrington and S\u00e9amus Power.The Amgen Irish Open once again assumes a key position on the DP World Tour&#8217;s Global Schedule as part of the Back 9, which encompasses nine of the Tour&#8217;s most historic tournaments and national opens.It features an esteemed roll of honour of champions, including Seve Ballesteros, Sir Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer, Harrington, Lowry, McIlroy, Colin Montgomerie, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Olaz\u00e1bal, Rahm and Sam Torrance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\"><a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.irishmirror.ie\/newsletter-preference-centre\/?view=Solus&amp;mailingListId=b1ea692a-d5b9-4239-b4e4-d4296e9f32c1&amp;utm_source=solusarticle\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"\">Click here to sign up to our sport newsletter, bringing you the top stories and biggest headlines from Ireland and beyond<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spaniard looking for third Irish title John Rahm(Image: \u00a9INPHO\/Oisin Keniry) Jon Rahm will return to the Amgen Irish&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30723,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[1259,3215,528,2169,399,1450],"class_list":["post-30722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jon-rahm","tag-donald-trump","tag-irish-open","tag-jon-rahm","tag-padraig-harrington","tag-rory-mcilroy","tag-shane-lowry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30722"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30722\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
