Open de Espana 2024: What has been said?
Rahm won his third Spanish Open title in 2022 to match Seve Ballesteros’ record of winning a trio of national titles.
After the emotional victory, Rahm, now 29 years old and two-time major winner, said: “You might need to ask me in a few days [how I feel] because I take quite a while to process these things.
“It was the goal coming in; Seve is a great hero of mine and to do something he took his whole career to do in just a few years is quite humbling, I’m not going to lie.
“I understand it might not be the strongest field I play all year but sometimes these can be the hardest to win. I’m at home, I’m supposed to win, everybody is betting on me to win and to come out and play a Sunday like I just did is hard to describe.
“It’s my lowest score out here, it was pretty much a perfect week. The only thing that would make it better is if my wife and kids were here but I have a lot of family here that I don’t see throughout the year to celebrate with.
“It’s emotional. Going up the 18th hole I knew what was about to happen and to get it done like that, I can’t describe it.”
