He called him “BEST in the world” and said that Rahm is amazing with his craft. Kim sang high praises for the Spaniard and said, “He has zero problems drawing the ball, those in the media (B.C.) that say he can’t or struggles with it are flat-out wrong.” Kim overall had a great day witnessing and playing alongside Rahm. He said it was worth the price of admission. 

Kim mentioned that he was able to keep up his drives with the Masters champion better than he had thought.

Jon Rahm broke the course record during the third round of the Mexico Open 

On the 18th tee, Rahm had the opportunity to achieve a score of 59. Unfortunately, his drive landed in a fairway bunker with a plugged lie, resulting in him having to pitch out and settling for par. Additionally, Rahm missed birdie opportunities on holes 15 and 16 from distances of 12 feet and 6 feet, respectively. Rahm acknowledged that he misread the putt on the 15th hole and wishes he could have another chance at the 16th hole.

Despite this, Rahm demonstrated excellent ball-striking skills and only required 25 putts on Saturday. He hit 17 greens, which is a season-high, and had a Strokes Gained: Approach to Green of +3.8 and Strokes Gained: Tee to Green of +5.4. His performance during the third round in Mexico was also the first time he had ever made over 100 feet of putts in a single PGA Tour round. He totaled 156 feet and four inches on Saturday.
