Jon Rahm will get actual on Brooks Koepka’s ‘infantile’ Ryder Cup accusation

After Group USA obtained embarrassed by the Europeans Friday, Brooks Koepka referred to Jon Rahm as a ‘youngster’ resulting from his on-course conduct.

So after Rahm received one other match on Saturday morning alongside Tyrell Hatton, the media requested the Spaniard about Koepka’s characterization.

“So far as I’m involved, I’m very proud of who I’m, and I wanted to try this at that second to let off some steam and play the outlet I needed to do,” Rahm stated.

“And clearly it labored out. I performed two nice photographs and obtained just a little fortunate on the putt. I wanted to do what I wanted to do to carry out underneath these circumstances. Is it proper or incorrect, infantile or not? I don’t know, however that’s what I wanted in the intervening time.”

The 2 Ryder Cup companions then joked about their quick tempers.

“I’m not going to face right here and say I’m a, you recognize, good instance of what to do on a golf course,” Rahm stated as Hatton giggled. “I don’t assume both of us two are.”

After lacking a putt on the seventeenth inexperienced, Rahm took out his frustrations on an indication, just like what he did on the U.S. Open in Los Angeles.

“I’m not comfortable I left a 10-footer quick on 17 to probably tie gap, and going as much as the tee, I let off some frustration hitting the board sideways, I stored strolling, by no means stopped, that was it,” Rahm defined.

“If Brooks thinks that’s infantile, it’s what it’s. He’s entitled to assume what he thinks, and I imply, I don’t know what else to say.”

At that time, Rahm and Nicolai Højgaard confronted a one-hole deficit.

They wanted to win the 18th gap to salvage a half-point and hold the People from successful their first match of the day.

Rahm did simply that, channeling Seve Ballesteros by making an unbelievable eagle on the par-5 18th.

Koepka and Scottie Scheffler couldn’t match Rahm’s three, thus leaving the match all sq..

After all, Koepka and Scheffler suffered a historic defeat on Saturday morning, dropping to Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Åberg, 9 & 7. So, it’s unlikely we are going to hear very a lot speaking from Koepka the remainder of the weekend.
