Jon Rahm Aims for Victory at The British Open Inspired by Spanish Sporting Triumphs

Inspired by Spain's recent victories in soccer and tennis, Jon Rahm hopes to continue the winning streak at the British Open. Fellow Spaniard athletes Carlos Alcaraz and the Spanish national team have set the bar high. Rahm reflects on the positive energy and support he feels, especially after Spain's success.

Jon Rahm, former world number one in golf, draws inspiration from recent Spanish victories in both soccer and tennis as he prepares for the British Open, starting Thursday. This weekend, Carlos Alcaraz successfully defended his Wimbledon title, and Spain triumphed over England in the Euro 2024 final.

Adding to the Spanish sports success, Rahm's compatriot Sergio Garcia claimed his first title in four years at the LIV Golf Andalucia event. Rahm expressed pride in Spain's achievements, highlighting Alcaraz's Grand Slam victories and Spain's European Championship win.

Rahm acknowledges the supportive atmosphere at Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland, fueled by Spain's recent success. Despite not watching Alcaraz's Wimbledon final, Rahm shared updates he received from fans, and recounted watching the Euro final with English golfer Tyrrell Hatton.
