The Spaniard had a four-stroke lead entering the back nine on Sunday at Le Golf National with a gold medal in sight at the Paris Olympics.
It was a back nine that Jon Rahm will rue for the rest of his career — and Brandel Chamblee was not interested in sugarcoating it.
“Jon Rahm looked so solid the first three-and-a-half rounds, leading the field in fairways hit, leading the field in driving distance, leading the field in greens in regulation,” Chamblee said. “But the demon that has plagued him over the last about year is that double cross. And we saw it a little bit at the eighth, but it visited him notably on the back nine in several key instances.
The 29-year-old was not much of a factor in the majors, including missing the US Open with a toe infection.
