Jon Rahm praised his fellow countryman, Rafael Nadal, after Jon finished his final round at Farmers Insurance Open. He said, ” I get lucky enough to play a round of golf with him and then I’ve gone to a few tennis events and we’ve met afterwards. He is an avid golf fan and he plays golf, a lot, a lot and a lot of golf.”

Jon added, “He’s one of those that in-between tournament days, he’s playing golf, or before and after he might be playing golf. He’s an absolute nut. He’s one of my idols, I don’t know how many Spain has, but if he were to win it would stay like that. To be the undisputed greatest of all time at a sport is very unique.”
