Jon Rahm: “I have to review the week, which I think will be quick”

Jon Rahm made a first assessment on his final lap in Augusta in these terms: “The day started well, there weren’t that many mistakes… they were punctual. I don’t consider it a day where I played as hard as the result shows (+4) . It’s the feeling that nothing happened here (about 7, yes… but nothing else);

Jon commented in the mixed zone that this was the first tournament after him switch to LIV Sergio García said he encountered some battles on his return. “Yes, in some there are… but I expected it. And then there was someone else who I expected to be drier and… one of them hugged me. Of all the relationships I’ve had, this one has been me. expected “My friends are still my friends… but there are things that don’t affect me or make me feel bad. If someone changes their opinion about me, it’s more their problem than mine… I’m not worried about it. .”

Asked if this result makes him reach the most challenging PGA the Basque said: “There is one month left… and in that month I will go to the other side of the world and back, so there is still a lot of golf left. For now, in quotes, enjoying staying until the end of the day and then the PGA, waiting to the previous weeks I don’t know if preparing for a ‘big one’ while being stung is the best way… I’ll have to take stock of the week, which I. Imagine will be quick (smiles) and then we’ll see physically I’ve felt fantastic “That’s something very, very positive for the rest of the year.”

As for if he does not miss the dominant Rahm from the beginning of last season, one from Barrika assured that “let’s see, let’s not go crazy… who is also not Tiger in 2000. In this sport, it is something small that can make you win or not, I’m not worried… to those there, Scottie is not surprising, Morikawa is playing well from tee to green and on top of that he’s this week. Homa is a player who defends himself very well through the air and has a good short game… Aberg is a mystery, but he has the ability to play well.

Finally, asked if it is a ‘brown’ to stay now until the final ceremony to put the jacket on the champion, he said:

“No, not at all. It’s something that the photo will go down in history… besides, if Scottie was cool he put it for me and now I put it for him, like Tiger and Phil or Nicklaus and Palmer back in the day… not that I compare myself to them, but it is something beautiful that will last a lifetime. Maybe now you can think that it is boring to you, but the truth is that it is a motivation to play better in the next game,” Jon concluded.

Txema Olazabal spoke about his physical setback at the beginning of the round: “I pulled on the second shot of the 5th and… fatal. I took an anti-inflammatory that Camilo gave me, but nothing. Especially with the driver, when I had an aggressive swing I couldn’t move, I did my best, I defended myself well and until that moment I was happy… I played great golf, just made a mistake. me on the 7th, and I’m happy,” said the Basque. .

“I just hope it’s not a fiber break or anything, because it would piss me off to stop it now, when I’m playing the best golf I’ve had in a while. I’m very happy with what I’ve done. It’s been four round, how “I kept my composure on the field, I was smart when it came to playing some shots and in that sense I was very happy,” he added.

And he ended by saying: “This week of driving has been one of the best in a long time… in years and I’m not telling you one and two. I had suspicions of what I was doing wrong and they confirmed with them, so I left doubts Now, what cost me is the swing drop, but after many years it is normal that I have to give it a little more time so that the club drops more neutral , at least a little more inside.”
