RAHM\u2019S EVENTFUL WEEK: Jon Rahm was not happy with his result last month in Adelaide, a solo second to Anthony Kim. Rahm was the co-leader through 54 holes but shot a final-round 71 to Kim\u2019s 63.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Consider it a lesson learned that paid dividends Sunday in the final round in Hong Kong as he shot a final-round 6-under 64 for the win.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCompared to Adelaide, I would say I came in with a mindset of just trying to be more committed to each shot,\u201d Rahm said. \u201cI think I was a little tentative on that day. That’s why on that back nine, once I made that putt on 13, my mindset was to birdie them all coming in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The week started with Rahm helping to arrange flights for stranded LIV Golf players in the Middle East. Then on Thursday, he struggled during his warm-up session. The week obviously ended on a high note.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish you could have seen my driving exhibition on the first-round range warmup,\u201d Rahm said. \u201cI walked off to that third tee with no clue how I was going to hit it off the tee, and somehow managed to keep it in play and each day got a little bit better. I was not comfortable whatsoever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a lot going on this week, and I think there was still a little bit of tension in me on that first day. But a friend of mine, his name is David Novak, he says, each day get better, and each day got a little bit better, and today, coming down the stretch, the swings from 13 through 16 were absolutely perfect swings. I think those holes is pretty much peak Jon Rahm that we can see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
DETRY MAKING QUICK IMPACT: Thomas Detry joined Dustin Johnson\u2019s 4Aces GC in the offseason, joining fellow Belgian and longtime friend Thomas Pieters. Detry finished seventh in his LIV Golf debut in Riyadh and has now followed with a runner-up finish in Hong Kong, making birdie on the final hole to break a tie with Detry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Earlier in the week, he was one of several LIV Golf players stranded in the Middle East after the recent conflict began, making his way to Hong Kong thanks to a private plane arranged by Jon Rahm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first few days were not really fun,\u201d Detry said. \u201cDJ’s security guy this week was with me this week in the middle of the desert on Monday night, and what we’ve been through was quite an adventure. But being here \u2013 my game was in a good place. I’ve been playing some good golf. It’s two weeks now out of three that I’m in contention pretty much because I was up there, as well, in Saudi. It’s really nice to see all the hard work I’ve put in during the winter has really paid off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like I can relax now. It was an intense day. I was trying to catch up on Jon, and he played amazingly well. He made some good putts there on the back nine, and I was trying to do everything, but yeah, it was just a really fun day, to be honest. I’m just thrilled.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FINAL LEADERBOARDS Individual Top 10 1 (-23)\u00a0\u2013 Jon Rahm, Legion XIII (66-62-65-64) 2 (-20)\u00a0\u2013 Thomas Detry, 4Aces (64-63-66-67)…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":465815,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-465814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=465814"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465814\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
