Jon RahmA Spanish golfer, who will compete at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, admitted that the course on which the tournament will be held suits his game and that “If everything remains normal, he will have “options to win a medal”.
“I had the opportunity to win the French Open there, But a double or triple bogey on the 12th hole prevented me from doing that. Then the 2018 Ryder Cup which we won, although I didn’t play very well, brings back a lot of good memories. It’s a tough course where you have to do everything well from the tee to the green. An area that suits my game, that you can’t hide from anyway. If everything goes well, I will have a chance to win a medal,” he said in a statement Royal Spanish Golf Federation.

I have already tested positive and had to withdraw from the tournament, but no one thought it could be repeated. Not being able to participate in the Olympics, even though my caddy had already left to meet me in Phoenix and then fly to Tokyo… it was tough, very tough…”
“It was very difficult for me to get over that… knowing that I had a chance for a medal and I wasn’t able to participate… So yes, this year I go in with extra motivation, knowing I missed an opportunity And being aware that who knows how many more I’ll have,” he said.
