Rory McIlroy criticism aimed at Jon Rahm after brutal Olympics collapse

Brandel Chamblee didn’t hold back his evaluate taking after Jon Rahm’s sensational final-round disappointment at the Olympics, branding it “one of the greatest chokes of the year” and on standard with Rory McIlroy’s emergency at the US Open.

With fair nine gaps remaining, Rahm was driving and had extended his advantage to four shots after a exceptional front-nine 31. In any case, his amusement unwound within the closing extend, overseeing as it were an even-par 70, which allowed world No.1 Scottie Scheffler to organize a staggering comeback and take the gold.

Scheffler, who trailed by six shots, set out on a birdie blitz, nailing four within the final five gaps to chart a immaculate last circular 62. The American edged out Group GB’s Tommy Fleetwood by one shot, whereas Hideki Matsuyama from Japan claimed the third spot, wrapping up two shots afloat.

In spite of Rahm’s amazing 15-under add up to at Le Golf National, he fell brief, finishing up four strokes modest of Scheffler’s winning score. NBC Sports savant Chamblee minced no words when dismembering Rahm’s stunning execution.

“That was almost about the wildest back nine that you simply might ever envision, ever anticipate,” Chamblee expressed. He highlighted the stark differentiate between Rahm’s 39 and Scheffler’s 29 on the particular back nines, setting the result as a exceptional move in fortunes.

Chamblee concluded with a cruel comparison:
“I’m gonna put that down as one of the greatest collapses, chokes of the year. Right up there with Rory McIlroy coming down the extend at the U.S. Open.”

Golf commentator Chamblee compared Rahm’s show to Rory McIlroy’s excruciating execution back in June where a late collapse permitted Bryson DeChambeau to swoop in for the win. Rahm saw his solid lead disentangle with a modest bunch of exorbitant mistakes between the 11th and 14th gaps, as it were finding comfort with a birdie on the 16th. In any case, continuous birdies somewhere else tossed him off course.

Chamblee commented:
“Jon Rahm looked so strong the primary three-and-a-half rounds, driving the field in fairways hit, driving the field in driving separate, driving the field in greens in control.

“But the devil that has tormented him over the final approximately year is that twofold cross. And we saw it a small bit at the 8th, but it gone by him strikingly on the back nine in a few key occurrences. And after that of course, you have got the odd three-putt here or there. So, losing a four-shot lead, not indeed medaling, by the way, with a four-shot lead.”

By the by, Rahm kept up an idealistic viewpoint in spite of the dissatisfaction of not securing a decoration after such solid early exhibitions. Still taken aback by the occasions, he shared:
“For approximately 97 percent of the week has been incredible. The swarm has been awesome. The week has been extraordinary. The golf course is phenomenal and it’s fair a, there’s fundamentally a four-hole extend where I wasn’t upbeat.

“Other than that, it’s been a very great competition. There’s still a parcel to be glad of, but typically something that’s gonna sting for a whereas.”

On the off chance that Rahm qualifies for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, the LIV Golf star will seek after a award at Riviera – the course where he won the 2023 Beginning Invitational some time recently making his switch to LIV Golf.
