Jon Rahm signs up for event despite "piece of s***" outburst being filmed by fan

Jon Rahm will play in January's American Express tournament in La Quinta despite being caught on camera cursing the course set-up last year.

The 2021 US Open champion notched just his second PGA Tour title win at the event in California in 2018, but it's fair to say his enjoyment was somewhat less three years on. Playing the Nicklaus Tournament Course for his second round, the Spaniard was filmed by a spectator stomping away from one of the greens.

And he wasn't discreet about his feelings, loudly shouting: "Piece of s***, f****** setup, putting contest week, Jesus Christ." The 28-year-old wouldn't have been aware his words were being captured, but they inevitably soon went viral on social media.
