MIAMI (REUTERS) - US Open champion Jon Rahm added further accolades to a stellar campaign on Tuesday (Sept 7) as the Spaniard was named the PGA of America Player of the Year and also collected the Vardon Trophy for lowest adjusted scoring average.

For world number one Rahm, who finished runner-up to Justin Thomas for the PGA of America honours last year, it marked the first time in his career that he clinched the points-based award that factors in tournament wins, official money and scoring average.
