Rahm: “It was a bit unlucky combined with maybe not my best game”

Jon Rahm did not find reasons for his finish (4th place tied) in CJ Cup. The Basque recognized he wasn’t done getting comfortable with his swing all week and is still giving himself a chance.

“It wasn’t the round of golf I was looking for. The start went the way I wanted, but the rest of the day didn’t. I didn’t hit the putts I needed to on the weekend. And it was a combination of things : a tough golf course, a Complicated preparation and I wasn’t able to give myself easy putts. It stopped me from being more aggressive. Also, I missed some short putts that hurt me and made me lose my rhythm,” Jon explained about the last lap at Congaree Golf Club.

“I was playing good golf, hitting good shots and when I had a chance to get close… there were some events that didn’t help me get the momentum, I’m not saying win… But things happen. It was a bit of bad luck combined with maybe not my best game”, added the man from Barrika.

“As bad as I felt on Thursday morning, if they told me I was going to shoot 14 under, I wouldn’t have believed it, I won’t lie. That round of nine under par on Friday was not what I expected. . The other three rounds it was a reflection of what I felt. I fought my hardest because the swing was not quite right. I was actually fighting the thoughts of the swing the whole time. I don’t like to think too much about my swing in the routine and this week I thought more than I wanted. Even so, I played good golf on a course that was not easy”, highlighted the world number 5.

And now, to disconnect a little from golf. “I’m looking forward to having time off. I’m not going to touch a golf club in a while. The weather forecast is good in Scottsdale, so I’m going to enjoy being a father,” concluded Rahm, who was definitely not in competition until next week. on November 14, where he plans to play the final of European tour in Dubai.
