Jon Rahm will play at the Mexico Open and will have huge ambitions considering that he is defending his title. Many wonders how ready Rahm is and whether he is rested for a new challenge. It seems that Rahm is still not fully recovered after the Masters and the RBC Heritage.
“You know, I wish I could say one week off was enough. It was a long Masters and then went right away to RBC, so it wasn’t – I wish I could have rested a little more, but it is the life we signed up for.“- Rahm said, as quoted by golfmonthly.com
He also revealed what ‘slowed down’ his recovery.
“I probably didn’t help, I celebrated the Masters win on Tuesday, that delayed the recovery a little bit.”
Jon Rahm and his goals
Jon Rahm achieved a lot in a short period of time and showed what kind of player he is. He set big goals for himself at the beginning of this year, and he fulfilled almost all of them. And this time Rahm had to sit down and think carefully about his goals in the coming period.
“Yeah, I had to reassess them even before winning the Masters. One of my goals for earlier in the year, I mentioned it a couple times, was to win multiple times again on the PGA Tour and I won my first two events. After LA [The Genesis Invitational] I kind of had to – you kind of need to reset because I was getting close to accomplishing everything I had set my mind to.
I like being able to – if you have to reset or refresh your goals, it’s an amazing thing because that means you’re exceeding your expectations. So I did have a day with my mental coach where we talked about things and reassessed and refocused on what we wanted to accomplish in the year. Yeah, I had to do it, which again, it’s a wonderful thing to do.”
