JON RAHM NEVER IMAGINED HE’D BE DEFENDING THE DUBAI DUTY FREE IRISH OPEN AS EUROPE’S HIGHEST-RANKED PLAYER. OTHER LEGENDS AREN’T SURPRISED AT ALL.
PHIL MICKELSON OPENLY TOUTED JON RAHM for greatness, Johnny Miller too. ⶠ“He doesn’t have any weaknesses,” Lefty said after the Spaniard rode five birdies and two eagles to a closing 65 and a recordsetting six-shot victory at last year’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Open at Portstewart in Londonderry. “Every part of his game is a strength.” ⶠGiven Rahm’s manager is Mickelson’s younger brother and caddy Tim, you could dismiss those comments as hyperbole topped with lashings of nepotism. ⶠBut Miller clearly agreed with the Mickelson boys, the twotime major winning Hall of Famer turned TV analyst saying Rahm has future No.1 “written all over his head.” ⶠⶠâ¶
Fast-forward 12 months and Rahm is living up to the heady billing. Victory at the DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates in November has quickly snowballed into a second PGA Tour triumph at the CareerBuilder Challenge in January and a third European Tour title at his home Open de Espana in April, a week after he’d finished solo fourth at The Masters.
