22-year-old Jon Rahm had a breakout year in 2016, and he's already snatched one trophy this season at the Farmers Insurance Open in January. On Sunday in Austin, Rahm defeated Bill Haas 3&2 in the semifinal of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, carding five birdies and zero bogeys over 16 holes.

At the long par-5 12th, Rahm showed off his massive power, uncorking a 426-yard drive that bounced over a cart path and settled into the center of the fairway. For the season, Rahm is the 20th longest player on Tour with an average drive of 303 yards.

Rahm will face Dustin Johnson in the final, who went 1-up late on Hideto Tanihara with a brilliant birdie at the par-3 17th.
