Key Highlights
- Jon Rahm’s unusual shot on the 18th hole during LIV Golf’s Adelaide event.
- Rahm’s rules break led to confusion and disbelief among competitors, including Bryson DeChambeau.
- Rahm holed out for an eagle two after his unorthodox play, tying him with leader Bryson DeChambeau heading into the final round.
The Unconventional Shot
On Saturday during LIV Golf’s third round at Grange Golf Club in Adelaide, Jon Rahm found himself in an unusual predicament. He hit his tee shot left on the 18th hole and ended up on the adjacent 10th tee box. His reaction was immediate: he shouted twice and covered his head as if in disbelief. This sequence of events perplexed Bryson DeChambeau, who was also playing in the group.
Rules Break
The situation got even more bizarre when Rahm had to drop his ball from a temporary immovable obstruction, which he did on Friday during the same hole. However, this time around, the rules seemed less clear-cut. Rahm went to his ball, discussed it with a rules official, and then picked up his ball again—this time near the 18th fairway. This move caused DeChambeau to question what was happening on camera.
The Final Hole Drama
Despite the initial confusion, Rahm’s gamble paid off as he holed out for an eagle two from just a few yards left of the fairway. The score was so impressive that it put him tied with DeChambeau going into Sunday’s final round. Rahm himself admitted that this was one of his most impressive shots of the week, given the odds and the theatrics involved.
Reflections on the Shot
Rahm explained, “It might be the most impressive thing I’ve done all week, which is pull it that far left twice, hit the cart path twice, and end up on the 10th tee twice. The odds of that are pretty low.” His confidence in the move was evident despite his own admission that he had done worse shots before.
A Stunner at the End
This incident highlights both the unpredictability of professional golf and the creativity required to stay competitive in today’s game. As Rahm put it, “Hopefully that can go in my favor at some point,” showing a pragmatic outlook despite the shock he and DeChambeau felt during the play.
