Jon Rahm experienced a minor incident with a fan during the first round of The Open Championship at Royal Portrush. After an errant whistling during his backswing, Rahm expressed frustration but later described it as poor timing rather than intentional distraction. He acknowledged that the misstep did not significantly affect his play, attributing it to a difficult hole as he struggled with his performance. Rahm aims to secure a third major championship and join the ranks of Spanish players who have succeeded at The Open.
If I were to paint a picture, you have the hardest tee shot on the course, raining, into the wind off the left, it's enough.
I know they're not doing it on purpose. It just seemed like somebody trying to get a hold of someone for whatever it is. It was bad timing.
I think I just used the moment to let out any tension I had in me. Really that's not -- it is what it is.
There's just a few things that would make this one so special. Not only getting to three majors, being the second Spanish player to win an Open...
Just a difficult hole. I mean, it's frustrating, but it is what it is. It's an everyday thing in golf.
