The Olympics and the Ryder Cup were also played at the British Open. Jon Rahm you will fly to Tokyo with a suitcase full of good feelings. The Basque will compete in the Olympic event (men’s golf is played from July 28 to August 1) together with Catalan Adri Arnaus, after the resignations of two players who were above him in the world ranking: Sergio García, who prioritizes enlisting in other tournaments to try to qualify for the final playoff of the American circuit, the Tour Championship, and for the Ryder Cup (from September 28 to 30); and Rafa Cabrera Bello, who is looking to secure his PGA Tour card.

Who has not left the Games is Rahm, despite the tight schedule and despite his complaints about the organization. Golfers will only be able to go to the course the day before the competition starts and will be forced to make long transfers each day. Rahm will arrive as one of the great stars and as number one in the world by recovering the first step against Dustin Johnson, who will not go to Tokyo. “I know I’m pushing myself a lot,” Rahm said this Sunday after his third place at the British Open. “When you play so well tee a green It’s easy to remember the hits I’ve missed, but with this one putter again I’m much better, they pass very close to the hole. We will improve. They are things that happen. I leave the tournament smiling because I have given everything and I finished very well to give myself the best opportunity I could. It was a great golf display, a shame it wasn’t enough ”.
“What motivates me the most”, continued a Rahm always ambitious in his plans, “is that I am number one in the world and I know that I can still improve. That’s what makes me happy. In theory I am the best in the world and I am clear that I could be better. I hope I can continue playing this well and improve the puttsLet’s see if we can add one to the medal table for Spain in the Games, and there is still FedEx, Ryder … wanting to continue playing well and improve ”, concluded the Basque.
