Jon Rahm might be one of the very best players in the world when it comes to golf but even the best have room for improvement it seems.
Rahm made his LIV Golf debut this weekend after completing his controversial move to the PIF backed breakaway league.
Quite what his success will be while on the LIV Tour remains to be seen.
Of course, we all know just how good Rahm was on the PGA and given he’s the current Masters champion, you’d assume there’s not much more for him to work on.
However, Rahm has shared that he has room for improvement in one key area, especially when it comes to being compared to other pros.
Jon Rahms shares the weakest part of his golf game
Speaking on the Bryan Bros Golf channel, Rahm admitted that when it comes to stats, he has some work to do when it comes to hitting from 150 yards and in.
“It’s hard to say but for the most part of my career it’s been my ball-striking in general and my long game from 8, 7, 6 iron I think I’m really good. But there’s always been room for improvement from inside 150 yards. Not that I’m bad, statistically against the best in the world though, there’s improvement to be made,” Rahm said.
Always room to improve
Every amateur golfer is always striving for perfection but the reality is we’d never get close.
But it seems even the pros have to work on things and Rahm’s comments here are an interesting self-reflection.
A Masters champ being apparently ‘poor’ from 150 yards in just seems so strange to say but it’s the fine margins that make them what they are.
Indeed, the idea of Rahm suddenly becoming one of the top players in terms of stats from 150 in is a scary thought really.
If he does improve, then the rest of the field in the majors and on the LIV tour need to watch out.
