Jon Rahm is never a man to hide his emotions when it comes to his golf and he’s been left absolutely incensed after his second round at the US Open.

After playing well in round one, Rahm went into day two under par and with a realistic chance of posting a score before the evening groups went out.

However, it wasn’t to be for the Spaniard, who shot a 75 to move to +4 for the tournament overall.

It means Rahm will likely cruise into the weekend with the cut line expected to move closer to six or seven come the end of Friday.

Still, the LIV Golf star expects much better of himself and after coming off the course and speaking to the media, Rahm was not happy.

Jon Rahm furious after posting a 75 in round two at the US Open

Jon Rahm plays golf to win, it is that simple. As a former world number one, his standards are high and in the major tournaments, it’s his chance to show he’s still among the best around despite the OWGR issues with LIV.

However, despite getting into the weekend, Rahm was not happy at all and he cut a short and sharp interview afterwards where he admitted to being angry at himself.

“I didn’t make a putt, that was the main difference. I didn’t play bad. I played quite good golf. Didn’t see anything go in beside a 7-footer on 7. That’s it. That’s a very hard thing to deal with to try to shoot a score out here,” Rahm said.

Asked to offer some perspective given the high scoring in general, Rahm then suggested he was too wound up to even contemplate that reflection.

“Honestly, I’m too annoyed and too mad right now to think about any perspective. Very frustrated. Very few rounds of golf I played in my life where I think I hit good putts and they didn’t sniff the hole, so it’s frustrating,” he continued.

Jon Rahm not out of things at Oakmont

While the Spaniard might be upset with himself and clearly has an expectation inside that he can win, this is not the end of the world.

Sure, being under par after round one gave him a big chance but it also allowed for an off day like today and to still make the weekend.

Right now, four over par is not massively out of things and while he is eight back of current leader J.J. Spaun, there’s a lot of golf left to play.

As it stands, Jon Rahm is firmly in contention and with this expected to get even harder over the weekend, his class might well shine through once those putts do start dropping.
