Jon Rahm: “If I give myself a option, i’ll did it”

Jon Rahm is prepared to face one of the key events of the season this week. The Barrika player arrives at the Augusta Masters ready to fight for his first ‘green jacket’ after a great first part of the year in which he has won three PGA titles. Before starting his assault on the tournament, he has shared his feelings.

Jon Rahm, statements

“Yes I like it. I like it and I’ve been consistent here. What I haven’t been able to do is put myself in a position for those second nine holes on a Sunday. In 2018 I was close, in quotes, but I had to finish with three birdies in the last four to give myself a chance… And that’s not counting the birdies I made on 13 and 14. Okay, so can you? Yes, but it’s complicated. Hopefully I get to that tenth hole with, let’s say, one or two strokes ahead… Because I’m confident, very confident in what I can do. And if I give myself an option, I know that I will have an opportunity to take advantage of it”.

“Yeah, man, let’s see, it gives you more confidence on a Sunday afternoon knowing that you’ve won… that Sunday in Los Angeles, having won two tournaments already that year, I was already more comfortable with that lead and with how to do it well. . That’s why I ended the way I ended. Looking ahead to the first three days, it’s a lot of work to be thinking about what you’ve done in the rest of the year. And this is a field in which there is always someone you don’t expect to show up and suddenly you have them there; An example is Corey Connors, who is not talked about much the rest of the year…, so you just have to do what you have to do in the first three days and then on Sunday you can surprise.

Man, it was good and we talked every once in a while, right? But it was nothing. Man, I don’t know what you expect. Do not think that from week to week I would have seen much more than now. Each one goes to his own and we do not always agree. But man, was it good to see him. I’m glad that he can play the greats and that they can continue coming to this tournament, especially being a great that he has won”.
