Jon Rahm, the 28-year-old Spaniard who’s ranked No. 2 in the world, was honest and open with his response to the Brooks Koepka barbs at the Ryder Cup.
Jon Rahm handled it perfectly on Saturday.
Unlike how Brooks Koepka had on Friday.
Koepka, the U.S. star, lashed out at Rahm after he and partner Scottie Scheffler halved their Ryder Cup four-ball match to Rahm and Nicolai Hojgaard.
Rahm had a magical finish to the match, going eagle, par, eagle to finish and Koepka was frustrated.
“I mean, I want to hit a board and pout just like Jon Rahm did,” Koepka told a TV reporter in a greenside interview after the match. “But, you know, it is what it is. Act like a child. But we’re adults. We move on.’’
There was no follow-up question from the TV reporter and Koepka hasn’t been made available to reporters since, so there was no context to what he said about Rahm.
Until Rahm spoke after his Saturday morning foursomes match.
Rahm, the 28-year-old Spaniard who’s ranked No. 2 in the world, was honest and open with his response to the Koepka barbs.
“I’m not going to stand here and say I’m a … perfect example on what to do on a golf course,’’ Rahm said. “I play and compete the way I think I need to play and compete, and yeah, I think he mentioned it.
