The winner of the Augusta Masters had his reunion this week with former PGA Tour teammates, he shared about the reunion and the response from other players,
“Yes, I have noticed hostile attitudes, but I expected it, my friends have continued to be my friends, but some with whom I had a very cordial relationship have not even looked at my face, these are things that happen, if someone changes their opinion is your issue, not mine, I knew what was going to happen, but I didn’t know who”.

Rahm also shared that some of his old and unmanned friends on the PGA Tour didn’t seem to have greeted him with open arms at The Masters,
“Some did. I expected it. And then, there was someone else who I expected to be a little tougher… and one of them hugged me. I think that, among all the relationships I have, it has been everything that I expected. My friends are still my friends. And then someone, with whom I was very cordial and had a positive relationship (in quotes), has not even looked at me”.
Rahm finished the last day with 76 strokes, a result of +9 that leaves him tied for 45th place, among others with his compatriot José María Olazábal.
On the par fives, he produced a poor record of the par of the course in his result over the four days. As compared to his previous seven Masters, as he had racked up a 59-under on these par fives alone.
