If I’m being tremendous trustworthy about Jon Rahm’s sport, I’d say this: the man is out hitting just about everybody and never making a factor to benefit from it. This has been the case for the previous two seasons, to be trustworthy. He’s had moments of excellent placing, however in the end, the one factor that has saved him from profitable a number of instances is the putter.
After a go to to the Ely Callaway Efficiency heart final Friday, Rahm and the tour Crew at Callaway seen one thing about his Ai-One Rossie S. Not a expertise factor however a variable that no one might have predicted. The blue end of the Ai-One marks up whenever you put it within the bending vice to examine loft and lie, leading to two distinct marks on the prime of the cavity (proper behind the highest line) that Rahm would consistently give attention to.
As a participant who prefers putters with no alignment aids, having to parallel traces (though delicate) can throw the prepare off the tracks.
The answer? Return to the putter he received two main championships with.

Not solely was the velocity management pristine, however he additionally made quite a lot of 20-plus footers to get him inside earshot of chief Patrick Reed.
The grainy Bermuda greens at Maridoe Golf Membership will check anybody’s velocity management, and after two rounds, it’s obvious that his feels appear to be coming again. That’s excellent timing, after all. The Open Championship is simply across the nook, and Rahm exhibiting up anyplace with a assured putter is a terrifying prospect for his competitors.
