00:00John Rahm, we need to start there. You just brought him up having history on this course.

00:08And for me, Keith, the first thing that stuck out with Rahm is just recency, right? I thought

00:12he grinded and really showed some heart at the Open Championship, the way he played.

00:18Really, I mean, Thursday, Friday, all four rounds, he was grinding out there for the

00:23Open Championship and then goes and wins his first live event in the UK last week. I love

00:28the form for Rahm coming into this week.

00:31You know, Rahm's season has been somewhat of a disaster by his standards. You know,

00:34he took the bucket of cash over the winter. He goes to live. And he said he had a lot

00:39to prove going into defending at the Masters. It didn't work out. The PGA didn't work out.

00:43He didn't play the U.S. Open. Comes back from that injury, goes third at Nashville. Then

00:48next thing you know, he goes 10th over there in Spain. Everyone says, oh, let's see what

00:51happens. He's in the bad weather wave at Royal Truant, just as you mentioned. And the guy

00:56finished seventh. Rolls that into a week later, he wins at live. Over his last couple

01:01events, this guy's gaining over three strokes per event against the field in just his approach

01:08play. That is a perfect recipe for success here at Le Golfe Nationale. That's why he's

01:12finished 10th here before. That's why he's finished fifth here before. And above all

01:17else, Rahm wants respect, OK? Zander, Scottie, Rory have been the total conversation this

01:25year. The big three. They've all been winning. They've all been doing their thing. Rahm has

01:29fallen into the background. He's from Europe. He's not going there to look at the Louvre.

01:35He's not on the Champs-Élysées, right, Carver? He is there to win medal. And that's it. And

01:41I love that fact. He is the Spanish bull, and he wants to push himself back into that

01:46best player in the world conversation. And it starts this week.
