In the thrilling LIV Golf Invitational happening in the United Kingdom, Jon Rahm finds himself tied for fourth place. Oh, how impressive! He’s a whole nine under par after two rounds, but wait, he’s three strokes behind the leader, Andy Ogletree. What a shame!
But it doesn’t end there. On the 15th hole of the JCB Golf and Country Club, Rahm had the pleasure of dealing with a rowdy crowd. They just couldn’t resist interrupting his pitch shot not once, but twice. How delightful!
Well, Rahm finally had enough of their charming behavior. He backed away from the ball and gave the crowd a stern, straight-faced stare. Bravo! And as he prepared for his third attempt, Rahm’s caddie and the captain of the Legion XIII team had reached their limit. Can you blame them?
In the midst of his practice swing, Rahm couldn’t contain his emotions any longer. He erupted with a colorful choice of words, reminding the crowd to kindly yell on their “fu**ng backswing.” Oh, what a moment!
Now, let’s not forget how crucial that shot was. Rahm needed to place the ball near the hole to save par and remain at a stellar two under par for the day. But alas, the LIV Golf star couldn’t quite make it happen. He had to settle for a bogey, dropping down to a measly one under par. Such a tragedy!
Speaking of Rahm, did you know he made the big move from the PGA Tour to the LIV Golf league this year? How exciting! He’s now the captain of the Legion XIII team, alongside Tyrrell Hatton, Kieran Vincent, and Caleb Surratt. Quite the crew!
In case you’re curious, Rahm has participated in nine events in the Saudi-backed league this year. Oh, except for this week’s LIV Golf event, of course. He decided to withdraw from the Houston event before the US Open due to an injury. How unfortunate!
But fear not, Rahm is still ranked second in the league’s individual rankings. Impressive, isn’t it? He’s accumulated a whopping 125.17 points. Talk about talent!
Throughout the season, the former PGA Tour star has managed to secure nine top-ten finishes. Oh, except for that one time in Singapore and Andalucia, where he had to settle for a mere tenth place. Can you believe it? He only earned 7.75 and 9 points respectively. Such a disappointment!
Looking at Jon Rahm’s finishes this year, it’s clear that he’s really making a strong push for that elusive maiden title on the league. Let’s take a sarcastic look at his impressive placements so far:
