Winning the green jacket is still a dream for several professional golfers. Now that the Spanish star has got his hands on it, he has pledged to take complete care of the esteemed jacket. However, despite all his efforts to keep it safe, the golfer recently avoided a major blunder. And it had everything to do with his baby!

In an interview episode on “The Pat McAfee Show,” the host casually mentioned his baby allegedly having puked on a green jacket. And in response to that, Rahm revealed how it “almost happened” with him as well! Stating details about the incident, Rahm added, “When I was exactly getting ready to go to Colt and Drew’s podcast, I was holding our baby, and I had the jacket. And I was like okay I’m gonna take off the jacket before something may happen. Because I can always change shirts.”
