Spain in on a roll and Jon Rahm hopes to be part of it. He says he was inspired by Carlos Alcaraz winning Wimbledon and Spain beating England in the European Championships. Rahm has only the British Open left to salvage a disappointing year in the majors. He hasn't won anywhere since the 2023 Masters.
Jon Rahm of Spain watches his tee shot on the third hole during a practice round ahead of the British Open Golf Championships at Royal Troon golf club in Troon, Scotland, Tuesday, July 16, 2024. Jon Rahm of Spain stands in a fairway bunker on the the third hole during a practice round ahead of the British Open Golf Championships at Royal Troon golf club in Troon, Scotland, Tuesday, July 16, 2024.
Throw in Sergio Garcia winning his first LIV Golf event at Valderrama, and Rahm would like nothing more than to extend Spain’s run of winners.The major championship season ends with the British Open, and Rahm has been a no-show. He was the reigning Masters champion when he left for the Saudi riches of LIV Golf last December and he still hasn’t won. His last victory was the Masters some 15 months ago.Lexi Thompson hopes to help the U.S.
The foot injury was a setback, but he contended at his next LIV event and then tied for 10th at Valderrama last week. He has top 10s in every LIV event he has played except for Houston, when he withdrew because of the foot injury. Rahm had planned to only play nine holes on Monday, but the weather was probably as glorious as it’s going to be all week and he wanted to enjoy it. Wind or calm, rain or shine, it’s avoiding the pot bunkers and the gorse bushes that are key to this British Open.
