What happened to Jon Rahm on the third day of Spain’s Acciona Open, held this week at Madrid Country Club, was unexpected. In the fight to climb the rankings, He hit a shot facing the sixth hole with his driver, which passed his head after impact, the club separating from the surface on which he hit it.
Rahm did not have a second pack of clubs and the tournament lacked a store in the clubhouse that could fix the malfunction.,
Rahm: ‘If you told me on Monday or Tuesday it was going to come out in two takes on Sunday I would have signed it.’This forced Rahm to make the following outings with a 3-wood, resulting in the loss of distance that occurs when hitting with one club or another.
Not being able to solve the problem on the Casa de Campgo goal area, it was decided to take the broken stick to a specialized store in the center of Madrid. Golf Estudio, a company specializing in this sport based in Barcelona, Madrid or Cadiz, was the solution.,
His manager at the Madrid store was watching the tournament and offered to take the broken stick to his company, which was closed, to fix it. He hurried and didn’t waste long in fixing the problem as he returned before Rahm started the 13th hole, so he went six holes without his driver. This handicap did not prevent Rahm from closing the gap on tournament leader Angel Hidalgo.
