Despite 76 hits on the first day of US PGA at Oak Hill in Rochester (NY) Jon Rahm he is not depressed or sunken. “I started off really well but then I haven’t made any of the putts I’ve made this season and that keeps you positive; if I make three short putts on 3, 4 and 7… It’s not been my best day, but even so, if I had made those three short putts, I would have finished +3 and it would have looked different”, the Basque told the special messenger of the Tengolf portal as soon as the round ended.
“The most important thing on this course is to put the ball in the fairway. If you put the ball in the fairway you can have a lot of good birdie opportunities. And that’s what I didn’t do. Obviously, in the first six holes of the day I played very good. I put myself in a good place and after that I found myself struggling,” Basque said.
“The +3 was not my best day because I missed from the tee, there were too many fairways, and also the bad luck of the wind on hole 2, the ball flew six meters too much, a gusts, something that cannot be controlled, but the short putts of 3, 4 and 7…”, he added.
“Far away, let’s hope that the bad day is this, of course I want to fight, this is going to get harder and harder. If I manage to finish Saturday at even par on the course, I will still have options for Sunday” . I said, to give up, nothing really.
