Rahm is set to tee off in his national Open today, as scheduled, assuaging concerns that he might miss the event after having to withdraw from Wednesday’s pro-am while waiting on his wife Kelley’s delivery.
Seve Ballesteros had won Spain’s national open three times (1981, 1985, 1995), needing 15 years to do it; Rahm was able to match the accomplishment in five years, having won in 2018 and 2019.
