What are their PGA performance, as a whole, revealed on Jon Rahm

Charlotte – Jon Rahm ended tied to the eighth Sunday at the PGA championship, seven shots behind Scottie Scheffler Champion – Complete stop.

If one asked the Chaggpt for additional context, the AI ​​program would also point to the Spanish closed with 2-over 73 in the X-Rise Club, including the terrible finishing of three holes that ended up with a large redemption story.

However, which and passing the view could I miss, whether in a shorter celote moment, Rahm tied Scheffler for leadership, teasing the type of layered duels that make up the current version of professional golf so convincing.

Rahm injected the year of another major – who dominated less than stars – lunatic, mud and non-suofoning drivers – with a Jolt starting at 16 eighth. Two groups in front of Scheffler, Rahm’s Tee footage on a short hole was bounced only over the green bird. Added another one in par-5 10^th And no. 11, he hit a high approach from a cross-headed bunker up to 15 feet to withdraw even with Scheffler, who was five recordings clearly earlier in the day.

As much as his goal was – and there was bad balls bad – Rahm’s cover chances taken a death blow when he was not directed when he failed bird no. 14 and 15, the only legitimate points of scoring at final stretch speeds. When he arrived at 16^th Tee was buried behind the world no. 1 And something was supposed to happen in a “green mile”, which is the statistically the hardest end of the game.

On downhill 16^thHe missed that six times left the bunker to the right of the green and failed to get up and down for a couple; What requested more bravely, some could say recklessly, Tee shot in a couple-3 17^th A hole that bounced once before she rocketed over green and water.

He found water again in the final opening to complete his Bogey-Double Bogey-Double Bogee and the final vacation spot on the second page of the leading plate.

“The last three holes, it’s a heavy tablet to swallow at the moment. Especially knowing 16 is not the narrowest vessel in the world. That bunker is in the game. You’re lucky, shot at the pin”, you’re explained to the pin. “It’s not a terrible momentum, but bad enough to put me in a really hard situation.

“At that moment, 18 was just rough, all right. The same mistake I was 16 was the same mistake in 18, just different clubs. There wasn’t such a bad swing, not so far.

Grace is usually not something that a player of Rahm’s caliber does not have a great interest after loss, but even the ultimate competitor could separate the feeling from destiny.

Since he joined Liv Golf in the fall 2023. years, Rahm fought against the notion that his transition to 54 holes, team golf, somehow he had a competitor who competed. At 7 pm starts in the Saudi background of the league, he never finished outside the top 10 and he won twice.

But what is important, at least the general lover of golf, what he did or didn’t do it on Majorech from his relocation in Liv. Before Sunday in Prepeal hollow, he had only one supreme finish, and even that T-7 was at last year’s open championship less than the sum of his parts given that he started the final circle bound by 15^thsix shots back and never in a serious position.

There were also last year’s Olympics, where the final circle was started, but closed with 70 and completely played its path from the stand.

Critics claimed that his move to Liv Golf was somehow robbed about the secret sauce that made him a double champion, that his talent softened the brand “Golf, but louder”.

Rahm addressed the main elephant in the room in the Prepeal cavity, pointing out that his game was not where he wanted before it was attached to Liv wealth.

“I’m going to Liv and playing up in Fog, I had nothing to do with Golf. My momentum was not at the level of non-chief championships and places, and in this way, these flaws will be exhibited, and it did.”

Until Rahm’s point, after his victory on masters ’23, he only had two best finishes on his last 10 tournaments as a PGA member.

History will categorize Championship 2025. As a missed opportunity for Rahm, but suggests closer examination, in combination with sublime completion of Scheffler, not a game that occurred to green bonuses from huge signing bonuses and team golf.

For another consecutive greater sunday, PGA Tour vs. Liv Golf Dynamic provided the perfect background and Rahm proved that he is still capable of at the top at the highest level. He also proved that he was still intense, no matter who signs his salary.

“I mean, I’m hard to express how hungry I am to be for Major,” he said this week, “roughly as hungry as anyone can be in this situation.”
