You don’t have to be a lynx to see the results of Jon Rahmthe defending champion of Masterswas disappointing, occupying a dismal 45th place ex aequo when the Basque had more than enough game and talent to finish higher in the classification.
I wrote, with data, on the preview of the ‘major’ argued in National Augusta, that Jon arrived with less than half the number of competition rounds played compared to the January-March 2023 period: 15, and 54 holes, compared to 36, counting three from the World Match Play, since a year ago. And on top of that, it’s been 365 days since the Basque, now world number 4, hasn’t won a tournament, regardless of the circuit.
Rahm finished the Masters in (is there a big difference between the two?) 20 strokes! far from Scottie Scheffler (297-277). Nine of them were taken by the great golfer from Dallas on par 5s: on -9 they were played by Scottie, and on par Jon covered them. “There is no need to say more…”, lapidary phrase of Bernd Schuster.
Rahm will never admit it but leaving the PGA Tour, where most figures are, the best courses, 72-hole tournaments, with a ‘cut’, with a high level of competitiveness, no music, and I don’t follow. .. he has not It is a good decision if we stay exclusively in the sports aspect.
It is true that defending a title like the Masters is not easy: added pressure, many commitments, mixed emotions, etc., etc., but either the agreement between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf will come today (will it come this, do you think?, or the story of a dominant Scheffler will be repeated in a few weeks.
