Jon Rahm’s last start ended with disappointment. A rough final round at Torrey Pines led to a T-7 finish — a season-best outcome for many on the PGA Tour, but standards are different for the world No. 2.
He’s already in Arizona preparing for next week’s WM Phoenix Open, the first full-field designated event in Tour history. To claim his third win in four starts, Rahm will have to take down the likes of Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas and pretty much any other big name you could think of.
How’s he getting the game dialed in? Oh, just playing alongside J.J. Watt, Tom Kim and arguably the greatest Olympian to ever live, Michael Phelps.
Match #1 – JJ 0 Rahmbo 1
I only had to give him 36 shots from the tips at TPC Scottsdale and he was not happy once he saw he would’ve won stroke play.
One of the best rounds I have seen him play, love seeing his progress. Ready for Match #2 but only giving him 34 shots. 😉Vamos! pic.twitter.com/EGEPFqakKU— Jon Rahm Rodriguez (@JonRahmpga) February 4, 2023
Rahm’s career record at the WM Phoenix Open is absurd: T-10 (2022), T-13 (2021), T-9 (2020), T-10 (2019), T-11 (2018), T-16 (2017) and T-5 (2015).
No wonder why he’s the betting favorite entering the week.
