Jon Rahm’s strike leaves its mark

SportLocation Golf Desk · 4 Oct 2026

Jon Rahm sends a small clump of turf forward at contact, then holds a balanced finish.

Jon Rahm’s swing leaves a small mark on the turf. As the club sweeps through the ball, a clump of grass is displaced; Rahm then turns through and settles into a held finish.

That contact gives the sequence its detail: the club meets the ball close to the ground, with turf caught in the motion. Rahm stays balanced at the end, club across his shoulders, while spectators watch from behind a rope barrier.
