Jon Rahm will return to the Amgen Irish Open when he competes at Trump International Golf Links Doonbeg from September 10-13.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard, a two-time Major Champion and former World Number One, has won the Amgen Irish Open twice, having claimed victory at Portstewart Golf Club in 2017 and Lahinch Golf Club in 2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to getting back to Ireland for the Amgen Irish Open,\u201d said Rahm the 31-year-old ten-time DP World Tour winner. \u201cWinning this tournament twice means a lot to me and it\u2019s always a place I enjoy playing. The courses, the fans and the challenge of links golf make it a special week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Six-shot winner at Portstewart<\/p>\n
At 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.<\/p>\n
Rahm, who was joint runner up in the US PGA Championship at Aronimink last month, will be part of a strong group of players from Team Europe playing in this year\u2019s Irish Open.<\/p>\n
