Golf News : So much has changed in the last 5 months' Rahm reflects on new life

The world number, Jon Rahm, spoke on Tuesday ahead of the Spanish Open, which starts on Thursday, at the Villa de Madrid Country Club in Madrid, Spain. "Yesterday it was approximately 30 seconds until someone recognised me when I went for a walk. I'm from Bilbao, it's more reasonable if it happens there, but here in Madrid, well, it's all happening so fast, I have not realised it yet," said Rahm, on how people in Spain are beginning to recognise him on the street after rising to world number one. The Spaniard has had a turbulent few months with many ups and downs, but has come out of it ranked number one in the world. "So much has happened during the last five months ... Missing the Olympics was a blow, then what happened at Memorial, but then I won the US Open, then me becoming a father," he added. Rahm also spoke about how "unique" it was to be part of the Team Europe at the 2021 Ryder Cup and playing alongside fellow countryman Sergio Garcia.
