Jon Rahm will probably be the first to admit that he is not always very good at hiding his emotions on the golf course.

There is no question that Jon Rahm is one of the very best golfers on the planet. The Spaniard has already won two major titles, while he has claimed the individual title at the end of both of his seasons on LIV Golf.

Jon Rahm picks the rule he would choose to be changed

There are plenty of rules that divide golfers of all capabilities. Some have called for AimPoint to be banned, while others support the decision to roll the golf ball back in the coming years.

Unsurprisingly, there is a rule that Rahm would like to see changed in the future.

Speaking in a video with Good Good, the Legion XIII captain suggested that there are few events more frustrating than when you find the middle of the fairway off the tee and end up with a far from perfect lie.

“The one that would have been applicable today is the ball in a divot. It’s the definition of ground under repair. Very few sports see you do what you’re supposed to do and get punished,” he said.

“In golf, you can hit the best drive ever, the drive of your life, and you get a bad divot. Some of them are deep especially if it’s a wedge. And you have a 60 yard shot – an easy shot becomes almost impossible.

“The only argument against it is you see all the divots, there’s always going to be imperfections in the fairway that how do you argue if it’s a divot or not? That’s the only thing against it, I get that.”

The criticism Scottie Scheffler had of the officials during last year’s PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Rahm makes a fantastic point about how unfair it is to find the fairway and end up in an old divot.

Scottie Scheffler would likely agree with Rahm’s view. Many will remember how several players were left annoyed in the early stages of last year’s PGA Championship at a very damp Quail Hollow.

What’s the biggest reason you don’t watch LIV Golf?

Players were not allowed to clean mud off of their ball when they found the fairway. And Scheffler spoke out about that decision after his opening round.

“It’s one of those deals where it’s frustrating to hit the ball in the middle of the fairway and get mud on it and have no idea where it’s going to go. I understand it’s part of the game, but there’s nothing more frustrating for a player. You spend your whole life trying to learn how to control a golf ball, and due to a rules decision all of a sudden you have absolutely no control over where that golf ball goes,” he said.

There are times when bad breaks are part and parcel of the game. It is one of the reasons some players absolutely love links golf where you do have to ride your luck.

But many will support Rahm’s claim that an old divot should not be allowed to impact a player who has found the short grass.
