World number one Rahm, who counts a Masters
triumph among his four PGA Tour wins this season, made $839,300
for finishing second at Vidanta Vallarta, bringing his 2022-23
season total to $14,462,840.
That tops the previous record of $14,046,910 set last season by
2022 Masters winner Scottie Scheffler.
Rahm, in his second start since the Masters, was six shots off
the halfway lead, fired a 10-under-par 61 in the third round to
sit two shots back of leader and eventual winner Tony Finau
before closing with a 67 that left three shots back.
While disappointed in falling short, Rahm said this week offered
a good reminder that past results and one's standing in the
world of golf are no guarantee of future success.
"A great reminder that what you've done means absolutely
nothing, you still have to go out there and do it. It's also
good so you don't think too much of yourself," said Rahm.
"A great reminder of what I still need to do to be able to keep
winning tournaments and if you ask me, that's almost a blessing
in life, to know that the work is not really done. It's never
done, the search is ever ongoing."
