Jon Rahm will be keen to successfully defend the
US Open and emulate Brooks Koepka who remains the last golfer to win back-to-back titles.
The Spanish star Rahm finished with two birdies on the final two holes to win his first major tournament at the US Open in June last year.
For his performance on the 2020/21 PGA Tour, Rahm won the PGA Player of the Year award presented by the PGA of America, as well as the Vardon Trophy and the Byron Nelson Award.

The Barrika-born golfer started off 2022 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions where he shot 33 under par for four rounds including a 61 in the third round - breaking the original PGA Tour to par scoring record at 31 under par.
However, it was not good enough to win the tournament as Cameron Smith finished at 34 under par to take the title and eclipse the scoring record.
The man nicknamed Rahmbo then finished one shot out of the playoff between Luke List and Will Zalatoris, ultimately settling for a tied-third finish at the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open.
Rahmbo, who is a two-time European Tour Golfer of the Year, went on to win the 2022 Mexico Open for his seventh career PGA Tour victory last month.

“I like to think every time I tee it up I’m a favourite. I play to win,” Rahm said after winning the Mexico Open.
"I don’t look at bets. I like to think every time I tee it up I can win. It was a pretty stressful weekend. But I got it done in the end,
"I did not think that having a par-five where a fade tee shot was required I'd be stressing this much," he continued.
"But I got it done at the end and I think all the stress earlier in the round helped me on those last two putts."
Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus hold the record for most US Open victories, each winning four.
