Rory Mcilroy Did not speak much In this PGA championship.
On Sunday evening, Jon Rahm couldn’t disallow talking.
“Sorry for the long answers,” he told the media gathered after the last three holes of this meaningless golf tournament, had hit him with him in the gut. “I’m trying to process things now.”
Rahm, of course, had nothing to apologize for. He was shocked, returning. You may not blame him for the desire to dragged under the podium and to insert his 6-foot-2 meat frame into the fetal position. Instead, Rahm stood in front of the press and broke up with Gamy one day that had begun with so many promises and readiness – three under 11 holes and briefly associated with the scottie scheffler leader – before ending with a hopeless stretch at home.
“I think it’s the first time I’ve been able to win a major that near and I didn’t do it,” he said. Weeks he done Do, you will remember, came in 2021 US Open at Torrey Pines and 2023 masters in Augusta National.
Rahm’s first child and his wife Kelley, Kepa, was not yet three months when his father won US Open. “If this is a dream, I’m not awake yet,” Jon wrote on Instagram after victory. “So happy that I can enjoy this with my whole family!”
In an interview with Golf Channel just hours after he would sign his card in Torrey, Rahm said becoming a dad had made him realize that he needed to restore his patience and take a more balanced, non-death approach to the game. “Now I have a son, someone who depends on me who will learn a lot of things from me like me from my father,” he said. “That can’t happen, I can’t do some of the things I have done in the past for which I really regret it.”
A couple of years later, Jon and Kelley had a second son, Eneko. Around that time, Rahm spoke at a home press press conference after string or gym sessions to hang with kep and Eneko. “I completely forget what’s going on and what I’m doing,” he said for the time with his sons. “It doesn’t matter.”
Last September, Jon and Kelley’s brood grew greater when they had a daughter, Alaia, which means this week in PGA championship It was the second large Jon played, after the masters in April, as the father of three children.
Clicked is determined to say that athletes’ prospects change when they have children, but, Um. . . They do. How can they not? If you yourself are a father or mother, you know that the moment you bring life to the world, you see the world differently. you are no longer the advantage – it OR SHE IS

If the good looked at the PGA championship advantage they were
Can you imagine what were the three most difficult holes in Quail Hollow on Sunday? Of course you can: 16, 17 and 18, the so -called green mile. The red mile can be a more convenient moniker given the amount of blood that the holes drawn. In the last round, the PAR-4 16 played on a plain average of 4,338; par-3 17 to 3,554; and par-4 18 to 4,431. These numbers do not justify the 5-5-6 end of Rahm, but they offer a context.
A few years ago, Rahm may have followed a closing stretch like her by cutting off his clean cleaner on two or throwing a trash can on the scorer’s table. On Sunday, he signed for his two-one 73, then he told reporters, “Lord, it has passed since I was very fun in a golf course”-for 15 holes, anyway.
Rahm also said that he found comfort in the words of one of the great philosophers of our time: Sir Charles Barkley. The legend of Hoops and Savant, Rahm said, has long preached to the NBA players who, no matter what happens in court, taking into account how much a loss of soul can feel- It’s just basketball. Life will continue.
“Like, I play golf to live; it’s extraordinary,” Rahm said. “Am I embarrassed a little about how I finished today? Yes. But I just have to overcome it, overcome myself. It’s not the end of the world. It’s not like I’m a doctor or a first answer, where someone if they have a bad day, really bad things happen.”
Also strengthening Rahm, he said, were the three welcome distractions that waited for him at home. “For them,” Rahm said, “whatever I did today, win or lose, they don’t care. So this is always a good perspective.”
Has that word again.
