JON RAHM has sought just a single piece of advice from his fellow Spaniard Jose Maria Olazabal before his Masters title defence.
"The only thing he has asked me is what I had for dinner after my two victories because he didn't want to have anything similar, laughed the former Ryder Cup captain.
But on the 30th anniversary of his first win in Augusta, Olazabal reckons he still might see a Rahm repeat on the fairways and greens of the Augusta National Golf Club this Sunday.
And the Spanish veteran believes the world No.3's defection to LIV Golf in December will not harm his chances of claiming his own second Masters title.
"A lot might have changed off the course since last year and he is playing a different tour but Jon is still the same player," said Olazabal. "Things don't change in that way.
"From the results I have seen, Jon is playing really good golf. He has been in the top 10 every tournament.
"He is going to be fresh. He will be eager to go and play that tournament again. And I have got more than half a feeling that Jon is going to do well.
