Although Jon Rahm is a Masters winner, having taken home the green jacket in April 2023, he understands that the additional pressure he might feel is nothing compared to one superstar basketball legend.
The Spanish golfer was asked during a presser on Tuesday whether it's been a "mental challenge" as his star power has risen in the past one to two years, whether in the form of "different kinds of questions," "different kinds of attention," or just added pressure when he shows up to matches. For what it's worth, the pro had a difficult time at last year's tournament, where he tied for 45th. He then went on to miss the U.S. Open with an injury, and failed to qualify for the PGA Championship.
