Jon Rahm enjoyed an excellent final round at the Spanish Open on Sunday, which moved him into the top 10.

Rahm was not in contention after disappointing first and third rounds at the Club de Campo Villa in Madrid.

However, strong performances on Friday and Sunday meant that he still achieved a solid finish in front of his home supporters.

Rahm has now urged the Spanish Open organizers to make sure the golf course remains the same in future events.

Jon Rahm wants the Spanish Open organizers to learn from the 2025 golf course setup

Rahm noticed that the golf course at the Spanish Open this week was more “firm and difficult” than usual.

Even though he did not play his best golf, he enjoyed the challenge at Club de Campo Villa and hopes the conditions are similar in the future.

“Well, hopefully a top 10, which, even though I was never in contention, is still a good finish. It was a good round of golf. It’s always great to come home,” Rahm reflected on the tournament with Sky Sports.

“Unfortunately, only two out of four days were good. The other two were bad, and I didn’t feel like I played that differently. It’s just that the course got me a few times.

“It was very tricky this year, and I hope we can see it this firm and difficult in the future because it definitely plays more fun, in my opinion. It’s hard out there.

“I wish people could see how close to the edge of the greens a lot of these pins are and how small these greens are. It’s probably why you see a lot of variability in the scores. You can definitely have a chance to shoot five, six, or seven under, but those bogeys can come quickly.”

Jon Rahm praises Spanish Open crowd after final round

Rahm is one of the top golfers in the world and by far the best Spaniard, so he had plenty of supporters this week.

He sent a message to the crowd at the Spanish Open after several thousand helped him towards his top-10 finish.

“I wish I were teeing off later and having a chance to win, but the support is always incredible,” Rahm said after the final round.

“The fans always make themselves heard, and no matter how early or late I’m teeing off, they show up and support me throughout the entire round. Days like yesterday are hard, where I was playing good but slowly moving back, and they were still cheering me on.

“When I keep making bogeys, it’s a little bit more difficult for me to process, but days like today, when things are going well, they definitely push me. They’re the reason I’ve played so well here in the past. Using that crowd to my advantage has helped me so much.”
