The 2022 Farmers Insurance Open is currently underway at the Torrey Pines. And the 36-hole leader, Jon Rahm, had a disappointing moving day. He carded even par for the day and is T-3 for the event with a score of -13. Meanwhile, Will Zalatoris and Jason Day share the lead after an impressive round three. Zalatoris carded -7 while Jason scored -5 for the day to share the lead with a score of -14.

Notably, given his performance, Rahm was animated throughout the round. He expressed his frustration after every bad shot. However, later on, he shared a powerful message about how he fuels frustration into motivation.

Moreover, he said it’s a good thing that playing a bad shot frustrates one as it shows how much it matters. And the day it doesn’t matter is probably the day one should stop playing golf. However, Rahm says it is crucial to not let these emotions get into a negative spiral and affect your game. Instead, one should use it as a motivation to hit a better shot. 

“I mean me more than anyone. I can tell you I get upset when I hit a bad shot,” said Jon. “And sometimes I get a reaction, but when I’m on top of the next one, it’s almost fueling me to be better.” Furthermore, he said they have a stat called bounce back birdies, and he’s up there as, after a bogey, Rahm always makes a solid comeback. “It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad thing,” concluded the Spaniard.
