Jon Rahm may be the best golfer in the world, but he’s never been more relatable after Thursday’s par-3 seventh hole at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Already struggling a bit in the opening round, Rahm had a golden opportunity to save par at 7 and move on to the next hole. Just needing a tap-in from 11 inches, Rahm took the “tap” concept a bit too literally and made such little contact with the ball that it hardly moved.
Golf is a difficult game — even for the best golfers in the world. But that was a miss that you almost never see happen for a golfer of Rahm’s caliber.
