Rahm going places in a hurry with his rise to No. 1 in world

Rahm going places in a hurry with his rise to No. 1 in world DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Jon Rahm made his first trip to Muirfield Village in a dark suit and a royal blue tie, no golf clubs. He won the Jack Nicklaus Award as the nation’s top college golfer. Rahm graduated from Arizona State in four years, despite speaking no English when he arrived on a campus so big he thought he was in a movie theater when he went to his first class in macroeconomics. That was four years ago. Far more meaningful was meeting Nicklaus behind the 18th green after an exquisite performance in the Memorial. Rahm built an eight-shot lead at the turn on the toughest Sunday at Muirfield Village in 42 years. He lost five shots of that lead in five holes.

Rahm said he told his caddie on the 13th tee, ''If we can finish the last six holes under par, it's a great finish. And whatever we have to do to make a comeback, we'll make a

Jon Rahm has been known to wear his emotions on his sleeve when things aren’t going well. And he is apparently just as hard on himself even with a massive lead.

Rahm was seven shots clear of the field during the final round of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village on Sunday when he pulled his drive on the 11th tee. Despite having an extremely comfortable lead, Rahm was still angry enough that he slammed his driver on the tee box in frustration. CBS broadcaster and golf legend Nick Faldo was critical of Rahm for the outburst.

Jon Rahm opened up a four-stroke lead after the third round of the Memorial Tournament on Saturday. World number two Rahm is on track for his first victory of 2020, having not finished in the top 25 in four events since the PGA Tour season resumed after the coronavirus-enforced break.

Rahm was coming off a bogey on the 10th hole, so you can understand why he was unhappy with that stretch of play. Still, an inability to control his emotions when things are going poorly has plagued him in the past.

Of course, this is the same Rahm who once ripped into himself over a beautiful shot at the Masters. The 25-year-old will probably learn to tone it down a bit as he gets more experienced.

  • Slide 2 of 21: We're looking to future with this one. While it's been a rough 2019 calendar year for Champ, arguably any golfer would like to have the distance the 23-year-old boasts off the tee. When it comes time to grip it and rip it, look to Champ, who is averaging a PGA Tour-best 316.8 yards on his drives. Once the rest of his game falls into place, then he should really be a force.

    Hitting it big: Cameron Champ

  • Slide 3 of 21: Entering June, the 49-year-old Furyk has three top-10 finishes on Tour this season, including a second at The Players. He's also the most accurate driver off the tee. That precision, along with his overall experience, will come in handy when tackling those tracks with narrow fairways and landing spots that put a premium on drive placement.

    Eye on the prize: Jim Furyk

That precision, along with his overall experience, will come in handy when tackling those tracks with narrow fairways and landing spots that put a premium on drive placement.
  • Slide 4 of 21: When it comes to overall quality off the tee, McIlroy gets the nod. Sure he's struggled with accuracy this season, but the distance is still there. And when he puts it all together, which at age 30 should still be possible, McIlroy is perhaps the best golfer in the world. One has to believe he's not that far off as things stand at the moment.

    All-wheel drive: Rory McIlroy

  • Slide 5 of 21: Getting to the green in regulation on a consistent basis is obviously one of the most important aspects of a golfer's game. That's why we will give the nod to Matt Kuchar, who has made it look easy more often than not. Nobody on the PGA Tour is doing it better at the moment than Kuchar, who turns 41 in June and is second on the money list and first in the FedEx standings.

    Solid from the sand: Dustin Johnson

    There's obviously a lot to like about DJ's game, but what many fans might not realize is just how good of a bunker player he is. Getting up and down from the sand can be quite a challenge for any golfer, especially in the Open Championship. Johnson is the best on Tour when it comes to making good out of the beach, posting a 67.4 sand-save percentage.

    No so rough: Paul Casey

    Our golfer might have the tools for accuracy, but there's a good chance he'll land in the heavy stuff at some point — especially near the green. Englishman Paul Casey is one of the best in the world when getting up and down from the rough. His excellence around the green in this department has really become a strong part of an overall solid arsenal of talent.

    Keep it short: Marc Leishman

    Leishman still might not be a household name to the casual golf fan, but he's got the overall short game our bionic golfer will need to be successful. Leishman ranks among the PGA Tour's best in terms of getting up and down from just about any distance around the green. That also breeds the kind of confidence that we're looking at for this total package of a golfer.

    Rolling it from distance: Jordan Spieth

    A big reason Spieth might be on the verge of ending a victory drought that dates back to 2017 is that he still remains a quality putter, particularly when the ball is quite a ways from the cup. Spieth ranks second on Tour in success from 20 feet or greater from the hole. Now, we know it's those 5-10-footers that can make the difference in a round, but having the confidence to drain the long ones can be huge.

    Putt for dough: Graeme McDowell

    With putting, consistency is all we're asking from our guy. Just give us a chance. Don't fear those 5-footers and be confident from 15 or more away. After all, the green is where we're going to make our money, right? Currently, the veteran McDowell is the complete package in terms of working the green. He's also made the cut in 14 of his 15 PGA Tour events to date and has a victory and another top 10 this season.

    The Scrambler: Patrick Cantlay

    Sure, our golfer will be made up of the best of the best, but he won't be invincible. We're going to make him sweat, or that wouldn't be any fun. When it comes to grinding out a round, especially close to the green, we need someone who can get his hands dirty and work to make that par save. Cantlay has become one of the best in the business when it comes to scrambling, and that works for us.
  • Slide 11 of 21: In golf, unlike life, it's better to take what you can during a round and not give back. Thomas, who might be a bit standoffish at times, ranks best atop all Tour golfers with a 2.17 birdie-to-bogey ratio — heading into the month of June. Giving strokes back to the course can obviously be costly, so our guy needs to channel his inner Thomas to keep that from happening.

    Mind games: Bryson DeChambeau

    Say what we want about DeChambeau — maybe he thinks too much or is too precise for his own good at times — but the dedication and mind work he puts into his preparation and planning is quite impressive. That's another important quality we'll look for in our perfect golfer. Though, it inevitably comes down to execution. At the moment, DeChambeau is struggling with that part, but the setup is as meticulous and calculated as they come.

    Mr. Cool: Brooks Koepka

    Keeping calm and not unraveling on the golf course is perhaps one of the hardest things to do at any level of the game. On Tour, it's times 10. How Koepka handled the pro-Tiger Woods galleries at the 2018 PGA Championship and a hard-charging Dustin Johnson at the same tournament this year was something special. Koepka nearly had his own collapse at the latter, but the composure he showed is something we want from our duffer.

    Working for the weekend: Tommy Fleetwood

    Consistency will be huge in this build-a-golfer exercise. So we need a player who is going to make it to the weekend without much trouble. England's Fleetwood is one of the rising stars in the game for plenty of reasons, but his 21 consecutive made cuts in PGA Tour events stand out. He doesn't win every week, but there's a good chance he will be giving himself a chance to do so.

    The wily veteran: Phil Mickelson

    Experience is another must in this project. Having the know-how to work his way around the course, handle the good rounds with the bad and know where to and not to hit the gold ball on certain courses is an invaluable trait. Mickelson has done and seen it all and has won just about everything possible except for the U.S. Open. Maybe that will come this year at Pebble.

    Strong enough to be our man: Brooks Koepka

    Incorporating weight training with a regular exercise routine for golfers is nothing new. Tiger Woods made it fashionable early in the century, and Koepka has shown that it might be the difference when it comes to having the strength and stamina to deal with the rigors associated with winning a major tournament. Koepka's strength is also a big reason he's the best on tour when going for the green from the fairway.

    He's got the look: Rickie Fowler

    How good a golfer looks on the course has become almost as important as how he plays. That goes for our specimen too. While each pro golfer has his own level of comfort, Fowler should be considered the leader in that department. From his Puma hat right down to his spikes, Fowler is always colorful, always in sync and always stands out in the fairway — which would be the point.
  • Slide 17 of 21: Despite the fact Woods has not done much winning in recent years, we know he's probably still the most competitive golfer in the world. The issue for Tiger is that his body is not on the same level with his passion to win. Still, Woods' competitiveness is one of a kind, and when he's on — even now — nobody is more confident in the game than he is.

    Mr. Nice Guy: Jordan Spieth

    There are those who truly believe "nice guys finish last." They are probably the same folks now in their 40s and still bragging about their high school sports glory days. Spieth is often considered one of the most genuine and cordial golfers in the game. That should play a factor when describing the perfect golfer — he has to deal with media, after all. The three-time major champ has not won since 2017, but there are plenty rooting for him to get back in the win column.

    You the man: Brooks Koepka

    When all is said and done and the parts are put in place, our guy might be closer to a machine. At the moment, Koepka is the best golfer on the planet, both mentally and physically. If we took his complete package and mixed that in with our project, we would come out with an unstoppable golfer who could trounce the field but be polite while doing it.
