Dave Phillips still remembers the time he watched a then-18-year-old pudgy Jon Rahm hit a golf ball at the request of the Spanish Golf Federation.
“I took him through our normal testing — body, swing and biomechanics — and I noticed he didn’t move that well, but man, could this kid hit it,” Phillips said. “The strike of the ball was exceptional. You could tell there was this fire burning and immediately I thought this guy has the potential to go all the way.”
