After squeaking past cut at Masters, Rahm has a rough day

AUGUSTA, Ga. - Reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm just barely slipped under the cut line for today’s third round.

Then after he finished today, he expressed disappointment in his performance, saying his play hasn’t improved over the course of the week.

“Oh, no, yesterday was terrible. Today I kept in in play off the tee, which is going to do a lot. Didn’t really make any putts, did I? Gave myself plenty of chances; just didn’t make them,” he said.

“Had to play very defensively and try to pick my spots and just couldn’t put myself in a good position coming into today. I think if you came out today and somehow shot 67 or lower, maybe you could give yourself a little bit of hope. But it’s a hard golf course out there. Anything under par is a good round. Anything in the 60s is a fantastic round today.”

In preparation for Sunday, he’s going to relax and spend time with loved ones.

“I’m going to go eat, see my physio, and the only perk of finishing by 3 p.m. is that I can go back home and my parents are here and my wife’s parents are here, so we can all go back to the house and spend some family time with the kids together and watch the broadcast,” he said.

“Have a little bit of positivity, and tomorrow is a new day.”
