Jon Rahm on the Short Game (Video)

This year-old video is absolutely loaded with Jon's thoughts on the short game. There's a lot here if you take the time to listen.



I think the most useful tip he gives is his preference for shots that don't spin. Jon says that your best chance to make a short game shot -- if it's a shot that you can use, given the conditions -- is to make the shot without spin so it will hit and roll to the hole.

As I said, there's a lot of good thoughts in this video. Given that his approach took him from #8 at the time of this video to #1 now, those thoughts are definitely worth trying out.

  3. The KLPGA leads 4.5 to 1.5 after the Friday four balls. The lone points for the LPGA/JLPGA team came in the final 2 matches: Ha Neul Kim and MJ Hur finished tied with their opponents while Hyo-joo Kim and Eun Hee Ji won 4&3. The first 4 matches went 2&1, 3&2, 3&2 and 1 up respectively.
