Jon Rahmwhich ended in third position in its premiere on the circuit LIVin Mayakoba (Mexico), admitted that he liked the experience and that was “smiling more than I expected.”
“It’s hard to understand how beautiful the atmosphere is when you watch it on television, you don’t realize it”explained the Basque player, who admitted before starting the competition “I don’t know what to expect, I don’t know what the week will look like.”
“Leaving the warm-up, which just reminds me of a college warm-up, the rest is the same, once you get the tee the competition is the same“explained Rahm, who highlighted the level of the tournament that Chilean Joaquín Niemann ended up winning, after a four-hole playoff against also Spaniard Sergio García.
“I had a great time, I smiled a lot more than I expected, just because of how much fun it is. I really want to continue playing well, fight here with Joaquín and if possible get my first victory,” said the number three in the world rankings, a great novelty on the circuit for this season.
He was amused by issues such as the music played during the game and He regretted the mistakes made on the last two holes which prevented him from reaching at least a tiebreaker with Niemann and García and ending up fighting for victory.
In any case, Rahm made sure that, after the big change he had in his golf career and the pressure he faced this week, Having the chance to fight for victory is something “very nice, something to really enjoy” and he would go on thinking about how well he had done, but this was the last week he had an excuse, because he knew what to expect.
Rahm, apart from the individual level, achieved success with his team, the Legion XIII, with Englishman Tyrrell Hatton, Zimbabwean Kieran Vincent and youngster Caleb Surratt. He defeated the Crushers of Bryson DeChambeau, Paul Casey, Charles Howell III and Anirban Lahiri by four strokes.
The LIV circuit will continue in Las Vegas, starting with these series. The tournament on this occasion will be played between Thursday and Saturday.
