Jon Rahm speaks of the MVP of Europe’s winning Ryder Cup afterparty
Jon Rahm might have been one of the main motivations for Group Europe’s ruling success this fall at the Ryder Cup, however that didn’t evidently mean the all-nighter.
The World No. 3 and ruling Expert Boss went 2-0-2 at Marco Simone and combined with other champion exhibitions from Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, Tyrell Hatton and Tommy Fleetwood (and a few problematic decisions by the U.S. side), the host group left away with an earnest 16.5-11.5 triumph.
However, when co-hosts Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz asked Rahm to relive the post-win celebrations in Rome, he was humbled.
“I was the LVP, the most un-significant player,” Rahm said of his all-nighter “execution”. ” I let the group down harshly.”
Rahm conceded he expected Shane Lowry, an Irishman known to place down a couple of pints in festival, to be the all-nighter’s MVP, however it ended up being a player relatively few were looking to. He likewise may have suggested he might have needed to leave the festival sooner than he needed to.
“Everyone let me know Sepp Straka was the darkhorse of the race,” Rahm said. ” Obviously Sepp can put a few beverages down.”
Knost counted that Straka’s capacity to drink as well as anyone would have had something to do with where he went to school at the College of Georgia.
“I mean he’s essentially from Georgia,” Knost kidded. ” It’s not even truly fair he was in your group.”
Yet, Rahm would have no part of that ramifications.
“I suppose on the off chance that it’s a drinking contest, the European group wins by a huge margin,” Rahm said.
Given that the 2025 Ryder Cup will be held on Long Island, it might be a good place to test Rahm’s promise that Team Europe will be the heavyweights at the bar.
