Jon Rahm believes the NBC broadcast team underplayed how difficult Rory McIlroy’s putt really was during the U.S. Open
Spanish pro golfer Jon Rahm is coming to Rory McIlroy’s defense after the latter’s crushing loss at the 2024 U.S. Open.
“One of the things that absolutely burned me, and I think it was Smylie who said it, he severely underplayed how difficult Rory’s putt on 18 was,” Rahm said in a press conference. “When he said it’s a left-center putt, if you hit that putt left-center and miss the hole, you’re off the green because of how much slope there is,” Rahm explained, defending his Ryder Cup teammate. “You could see Rory aiming at least a cup left from three feet. They severely underplayed how difficult that putt was. Severely.”He also defended the broadcast team, saying that unless you’ve played the course before, it could be tough to tell how difficult that hole really is.
