Jon Rahm didn’t have his best day on the first day of LIV Andalucía. The former world number 1 finished with 73 strokes (two over par), seven behind the leader, South African Dean Burmester, after a day in which he had a public altercation on the 17th hole, where he made ‘double bogey. ‘ .
Rahm, obviously angry, He said he was “an idiot as usual” and stressed that he shouted “in the middle” of the punch: “Say what you want when we hit him, but not during.”
Also, he thanked the people who approached Valderrama and commented, when asked about the level of LIV, that “a lot of people are trying to reduce the level of the circuit,” but insisted that although there are 52 players, “they are quality.”
“They want to reduce the cost of the league and I consider it to be a great league and the talent is there.. There are 52 players and they all come to compete. I played well this year and I still didn’t win, that’s the most obvious proof,” said the captain of Legion XIII on the Saudi circuit.
In fact, he emphasized that the possibility of being on a team, like Legion golf, “they grow up wanting to be a part” of their team and “now they have more possibilities.”
“I grew up wanting to be an Athletic player and almost now I also want to be an Athletic footballer even though I know it’s impossible,” said Rahm, who thus defended the format of this circuit, with thirteen events, held over three days – and not in four- and with 52 players.
