<\/p>\nJon Rahm is not exactly known for keeping his emotions in check on the course, and he would probably be the first to say so.<\/p>\n
There is no doubt about his ability though. Rahm has two majors to his name and has won the LIV Golf individual title at the end of both of his seasons. He is widely regarded as one of the best players in the game.<\/p>\n

However, he occasionally expresses his dissatisfaction openly.<\/p>\n

Golf has no shortage of divisive rules. AimPoint, for example, has sparked calls for a ban, while the decision to roll back the golf ball also splits opinion.<\/p>\n
Rahm is not alone in having one that he would like to see updated.<\/p>\n
In a video with Good Good, the Legion XIII captain explained how frustrating it can be to find yourself in the middle of the fairway off the tee, only to end up with a poor lie.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard explained: \u201cThe one that would have been applicable today is the ball in a divot. It\u2019s the definition of ground under repair. Very few sports see you do what you\u2019re supposed to do and get punished.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn golf, you can hit the best drive ever, the drive of your life, and you get a bad divot. Some of them are deep especially if it\u2019s a wedge. And you have a 60 yard shot \u2013 an easy shot becomes almost impossible.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only argument against it is you see all the divots, there\u2019s always going to be imperfections in the fairway that how do you argue if it\u2019s a divot or not? That\u2019s the only thing against it, I get that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scottie Scheffler spoke out against PGA Championship rules in 2023<\/p>\n
Rahm has a good point about how it feels to hit the fairway and still end up in an old divot.<\/p>\n
Scottie Scheffler would likely back that up, especially considering what happened at last year\u2019s PGA Championship. Early rounds at Quail Hollow, which played soft, saw players getting frustrated over conditions.<\/p>\n

Mud on the ball was an issue throughout, but cleaning was not permitted, and after his opening round, Scheffler did not hold back his opinion on that rule.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s one of those deals where it\u2019s frustrating to hit the ball in the middle of the fairway and get mud on it and have no idea where it\u2019s going to go. I understand it\u2019s part of the game, but there\u2019s nothing more frustrating for a player. You spend your whole life trying to learn how to control a golf ball, and due to a rules decision all of a sudden you have absolutely no control over where that golf ball goes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sometimes golf is just like that \u2013 bad breaks come with the territory. It is part of why some players enjoy links courses so much; you have to deal with whatever comes your way.<\/p>\n
But even so, plenty will agree with Rahm that finding an old divot after hitting the short grass is not something players should have to deal with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jon Rahm is not exactly known for keeping his emotions in check on the course, and he would…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":417550,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[35768,427,20862,199723,13755,5758,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-417549","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-fairway","9":"tag-golf","10":"tag-golf-ball","11":"tag-golf-individual","12":"tag-jon-rahm","13":"tag-scottie-scheffler","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417549\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
