On Friday, after lipping out a par putt on the 10th hole, fiery Spaniard Jon Rahm unleashed a muy picante F-bomb that will reverberate around Royal Liverpool for decades to come. Ear muffs, kiddos.
It wasn’t the flat patch of land or Hoylake’s calm conditions that defined the opening 18 holes of the year’s final men’s major, but, rather, the devilish bunkers (81 overall) that litter the place.
If you’re finding that your practice sessions are losing their effectiveness, try taking a page from men’s world No.2, Jon Rahm, who has started timing himself to increase the productivity of his practice sessions.
Ahh, Tuesday of a major championship week. The day of talking, questioning and offering takes. I actually heard someone on Golf Channel today say that players might want to take Oak Hill’s “mowing patterns” of the fairways into account off-the-tee this week. True story.
Golf writer Alan Shipnuck discusses the hottest topics in golf, including how great Jon Rahm can be, how to rank LIV golfer Talor Gooch’s form, and the politisation of the world rankings.
Finau, runner-up to Jon Rahm a year ago, flipped the script, beating Rahm head-to-head on the final day to win for the fourth time since tying for second in 2022.
By earning $US839,300 at the Mexico Open, Rahm has now earned $US14,462,840 for the season, which breaks the PGA Tour record. Just as April becomes May.
When you finish a round on the PGA Tour first in strokes gained/approach, second in SG/putting and fourth in SG/off-the-tee, you know you’ve had a special day.
