SOTOGRANDE, Spain (AP) — Tyrrell Hatton had two late birdies to hold off Jon Rahm and close with a 1-under 71, giving him a two-shot victory in LIV Golf Andalucia for his second title in the league.
Hatton's other victory came in 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee.
Rahm closed with a 67 to finish alone in second and keep his place atop the points standings on LIV Golf, which now is off for nearly two months. Abraham Ancer (68) finished third, while Sergio Garcia played the back nine with one bogey and no birdies for a 70 to finish fourth.
Joaquin Niemann stayed third in the points standings to earn a spot in the British Open.
Thomas Detry would have needed to remain in second place alone to have any chance of moving into the top 60 for a chance to be exempt for the U.S. Open. He had three early bogeys and never recovered, closing with a 74.
Legion XIII, the team with Rahm and Hatton, won the team competition by six shots.
LIV Golf is now off for six weeks before resuming its final season with Saudi funding.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Middle East is suddenly bracing for war again. Iran fired missiles at Israel late Sunday in the first such bombardment in the two months since a ceasefire. Israel launched airstrikes early Monday targeting central and western Iran in response. What happened?
The truce in the Iran war that was reached in April has not spread to Lebanon, where Israel has been battling Iranian-backed Hezbollah militants. Israel says it is defending its northern communities that face Hezbollah drone and rocket fire.
Iran sees Israel’s ground invasion, with thousands of troops, and airstrikes in Lebanon as a ceasefire violation. It insists that any deal with the United States must end the fighting there. Israel disagrees.
Here’s a timeline of key events.
The United States and Israel attack Iran. War begins.
Hezbollah enters the war by firing rockets at Israel. Israel retaliates.
A fragile ceasefire in the Iran war is announced, with talks to continue. Israel is not included in them.
Israel bombards Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, killing over 300 people in a 10-minute attack.
Lebanon and Israel hold their first direct diplomatic talks in decades in Washington.
A fragile ceasefire is announced between Israel and Lebanon, but Hezbollah plays no part. Fighting soon resumes from both sides.
Israel’s ground invasion of Lebanon makes its deepest incursion in over a quarter-century.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatens to strike Beirut if Hezbollah attacks don’t stop. U.S. President Donald Trump says Israel and Hezbollah agree to calm the fighting.
Israeli drone strikes in Lebanon kill 11 people.
Israel and Lebanon say they agree to renew the fragile ceasefire and create security zones that exclude Hezbollah.
Hezbollah’s leader rejects the ceasefire agreement and demands that Israel withdraw from Lebanon.
Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard says “there will be no calm in the region ” if Israel doesn’t withdraw.
Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon kill three members of the Lebanese military.
Hezbollah again fires at Israel. Israel strikes Beirut’s southern suburbs. Iran fires at Israel.
Israel launches airstrikes in the early morning targeting central and western Iran in response to Iranian missile fire. Iranian state television reports the sound of explosions being heard in Isfahan, Tabriz and Tehran, without elaborating.
