Jon Rahm makes explosive allegation that the Olympics were fixed.
After nailing his sixth birdie of the round and maintaining a streak of one-putts on green, Rahm strode away from 10th tee with four shots separating him from Tommy Fleetwood and Hideki Matsuyama. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler was six strokes behind but hardly in contention as he lingered barely within Rahm’s sightline.
Despite achieving a 39 on the back nine, he was unable to secure a bronze medal due to missing an insignificant par putt on the final hole. As Scheffler won first place with four shots ahead of him, he fell short by just two shots behind in his pursuit for third place.
Rahm expressed that the disappointment of not fulfilling his obligations didn’t just affect him personally, but also weighed heavily on him considering it was a letdown for Spain as a whole. This emotional burden is more distressing than he anticipated.
He said losing today has given him a greater understanding of the significance of this tournament to him than winning any medal could have. He now realizes how much it truly meant to him, having represented Spain in numerous events and falling short in this one hurts deeply.
Wow, Scottie! With a nail-biting score of 62, Scheffler has claimed the Olympic gold medal.
In the pursuit of Olympic gold in golf, Schauffele and Rahm are tied for first place amidst a competition filled with renowned players.
As the pursuit of Olympic gold unfolds, Fleetwood has gained a share in the lead for golf.
The sight was impressive, witnessing his complete mastery of the game. However, suddenly he lost control.
The sequence began with a 30-foot putt for birdie on the eleventh hole, which was over-hit by about four feet. Unfortunately, he missed putting it back and registered his initial bogey of the day. As a result, Fleetwood seized an opportunity to score another birdie while shaving off two points from Rahm’s lead. Combined with faltering at No.12 after landing in a bunker followed by missing onto green ark; eventually failing to save par despite being just fifteen-feet away sealed Finnished player’s fate as Fleetwood marked yet another brilliant move along his journey towards victory overtaking him completely taking control of proceedings thereby ending Jonathan’s reign immediately!
Rahm stated that the bogeys were merely typical occurrences in golf and not overly concerning, but he did express disappointment over having six three-putts throughout the week.
However, the situation deteriorated further.
Rahm’s downfall occurred at the par-5 14th, where he scored a double bogey. Interestingly enough, Rahm had previously played this hole in the preceding three rounds and racked up an impressive score of one eagle and two birdies.
After missing his tee shot to the left and landing in thick rough, he had no choice but to lay up. With a distance of 162 yards left to cover, he utilized an 8-iron so as not go long on a back pin; however, the ball took a sharp turn towards the left side where it rolled off onto more dense grass besides leaving him with only few options remaining. In order to get out of this mess and reach closer towards his target area which was already visible from afar -he decided upon utilizing one last trick before giving up completely:-a flop that could lead him across some slopes without rolling too far away again after making contact with ground- Unfortunately though when executing such shots over uneven terrain (as opposed having straight path), even minor deviations can cause significant differences due factors like gravity or wind direction etc., leading many golfers into troubles similar conditions seen during this entire sequence today: His first attempt did hardly make any progress at all since it didn’t quite carry enough momentum upwards along incline while second effort overshot intended mark sliding right past cup altogether causing frustration amongst watching crowds who expected better results.
“He said that the biggest error was when he took his third shot on hole 14. He shouldn’t have aimed for the left side of the green as it led to an awful lie and subsequently suffered from making more mistakes.”
After leading for the entire day, he found himself behind on the 11th green with only limited time left – his four-shot lead had shrunk to a mere two.
He calculated that obtaining four 3s on his card for the remaining rounds could potentially help him surpass Scheffler. Despite breaking the Olympic record by five shots, Scheffler’s score of 62 was outdone by a possible winner. In case he failed to catch up with Scheffler, there was still a chance for Rahm to secure himself a medal in the competition.
After failing to make a 10-foot birdie on the 15th and an 8-foot par on the 17th, he was unable to secure a spot on the podium.
“I made the mistake early,” Rahm stated. “By hole 11, I had done exceptionally well but then lost my grip on things. It was my own doing and it hurts even more because of what it could have meant for Spain.”
After his recent victory, Rahm returns to LIV Golf with only eight months before he can showcase his skills at the Masters tournament in Augusta National. This comes after leaving for a rival league funded by Saudi Arabia last December and achieving victory on LIV just last week.
At the Masters, he just made it into the cut. However, at the PGA Championship, he didn’t make it through. Unfortunately for him, during U.S Open he had to back out because of a foot infection. During his participation in British Open though not being highly competitive throughout its duration but gained some recognition as managed to grab seventh place showcasing his exceptional skills on an intenational scale nonetheless.s
He stated that his performance between Friday and the front nine today was likely one of his best since early last year. He sees this as a significant advantage heading towards the end of LIV season. Unfortunately, he was unable to maintain this level and finish strong.
