Riviera, the field of Hollywood starswas just as happy for Jon Rahm, the world golfer of the moment, the one with the 9 top 10 in the last ten tournaments and who exhibits a state of form that only Tiger Woods has been able to sequence in the last 25 years.
The one from Barrika signed 65 hits, the best lap of the 17 that he has completed on the Los Angeles course, with eight birdies and two bogeys, after a fabulous start in which he had the option of an eagle on the first two holes, the second with a chip.
Again California, the state in which he has won four Of the nine tournaments on the PGA Tour, he was once again happy for the interests of the world number 3 who sees the reason for his performance in the “poa grass. I feel very comfortable and it shows,” he said after the tour that left a blow from the first leader, the American Max Homa, in a tournament where you feel “almost like a Major”.
The reasons why Rahm is here right now in the wave crest they have no other secret than work. “Perhaps during the hiatus period, from the FedEx Cup, until the first starts of the season, 3 months have passed, but I have not left the gym, typical of a player who, when the pandemic was five weeks unable to play and suffered, to the point that in the first week I was already swinging in the garage.
“‘The good times come and go,'” Rahm said at the end. “Dynamics is something that exists in sport, but if you push yourself all year long and in the off weeks and at home you do the right things, you have a better chance of never feeling that feeling that you can lose momentum. Many of us spend many hours both on the course and off it doing the right things to stay physically and mentally fit to maintain that level. I love being told that almost every time I play I’m fighting to win. That’s why I do it.”
