Jon Rahm Discussed his amazing first round at Augusta saying “I always feel that if you’re on the 7th fairway around par, it’s a good start. They’re not easy holes, you can make birdies, but they’re not guaranteed . With birdies 2 and 3, being par on the 7th fairway I was very happy… I was going to sign it off, take it easy to start there. But, after that start, I was obviously proud that I got the rest of the lap .” In the mixed zone, in the Spanish media, he said all this:
WhatWhat does it mean to you to be the first player in tournament history to have the best result after starting with a double bogey?
“Don’t think that doing the lowest lap with a double helps me a lot… I’m happier with myself because I’ve done the card I signed. In the end, the result is what matters… I don ‘t know how much we will remember in the “In the future, if anyone will remember that this was the lowest lap starting with a double. If you don’t get it right all week, it doesn’t matter.”
WhatHow did you overcome that beginning? We saw you talking to yourself around the field, talking to Adam…
“Man, anger… mostly, I’ve come to terms with what happened, but the ending was a stupid double (in quotes). I have to let that negativity out a little bit. I also have to say that I’m not sure. if my The ball on number 2 is in the fairway or not. Once I see it in the fairway, it makes a big difference. Good shot on hole four, good shot on hole five, on hole six… . It’s easier to make those change with Good putts. I was comfortable going. That birdie on seven turned things around… from plus two on the 2nd tee to under par on the 8th tee, downwind, that was the time you’ve seen the queue. 100% fairways and greens, I don’t care what you say (laughs)… and greens”.
Jon, with the bad weather coming, will you remember the 65 or what you missed with the double bogey?
“From 65, without a doubt… that in the end wasn’t a bad feeling. I think it was the most disturbing; I didn’t throw bad putts, any of them could have gone in and they didn’t . In the end there is no one to blame.”
English colleagues say that you remember Seve’s mythical phrase about four putts [¿cómo se pueden hacer cuatro putts? fallando el tercero] Is that in the field?
“Yes, yes, on the course…before you hit the 2nd tee…’missed, missed, missed…and made.
What did you take in today’s round?
“As a single shot, the one on 8. As consecutive shots, the ones on 18 (the drive and the second shot). The thing about getting all the fairways and the greens came to mind on 17, because it’s a difficult fairway to take… In the 17 and 18 and I have given the best shots of my life. For those who are curious, I thought ‘jolin, I haven’t stepped on the rough all day’ (laughs)’ “.
Is it your favorite now?
“I feel the same… the rest is up to you. I’m happy to have started the way I started because it’s a bit what I’ve been missing lately. I want to have a solid day in the first round and then would give myself more options.”
