Jon Rahm holds the trophy as he celebrates after winning The Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club on July 19, 2020.Jon Rahm made his first trip to Muirfield Village in a dark suit and a royal blue tie, no golf clubs.
“He just doesn’t have a weakness,” Mickelson said Sunday, the same thing he said in 2017 before Rahm won his first event at Torrey Pines with a 60-foot eagle putt on the last hole. “I said straight up, `I want to be the best player in the world.' I made that deal with myself very young,” Rahm said. “I started working towards that goal, and everything I’ve done golf-wise has been to become No. 1 in the world and become the best player I can be. It’s pretty surreal to think it’s happened this quickly. I mean, how many people get to achieve a lifelong dream in their mid-20s?”Rory McIlroy was 23 when he first reached No.
