Does Jon Rahm regret viral golf video?
SAN DIEGO — Jon Rahm doesn’t seem like a guy who lives with many regrets. Other PGA Tour pros, concerned with maintaining squeaky-clean images, might have rued becoming the subject of a viral golf video, as Rahm was this weekend when he decried the setup at the American Express.
Why does Rahm Rahm’s golf gear rust on his head?
When you’re a golf rockstar, custom gear is an option. In Rahm’s case, his version has more of a blade-like profile and happens to be made from raw carbon steel. Hence, the rusting and patina you see on the head.
What clubs does Jon Rahm carry in his bag?
As you’d expect, Rahm carries some clubs that you wouldn’t be able to find at your local golf shop-at least not in their current form. For example, Rahm’s 22-degree Callaway X Forged UT is a retail option, but the overall cavity design and plating differs from what you’d find in the Spaniard’s bag. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Why does Jon Rahm have leading edge relief on his wedges?
Rahm is surgical around the greens, but even the best wedge players in the world can use a bit of leading edge relief, especially on squared-up shots. Removing material from the sole allows the leading edge to impact the turf efficiently without digging. In other words, it keeps Rahm from chunking it on tight lies.
How far did Rahm putt on the 6th hole?
On the sixth hole of a match in which only one of the first five holes was halved, Rahm lagged a putt to 2.5 feet on the 6th hole. He was, naturally, expecting a gimme. But Thomas and Spieth, already in the hole for par, forced team Rahm/Garcia to make the short putt to halve the hole (which they did).
