Jon Rahm is back at Kapalua, after time out to recharge and "Just be a dad".
From Golf Digest, by Dan Rapaport:
"I get my moments with COVID, became a dad, won a U.S. Open, played amazing golf and then played a great Ryder Cup," Rahm said. "So when that Ryder Cup was over, I was drained for the previous year and a half. Not only the last four months but the previous year and a half. And after I went to Spain and finished playing, I just, I needed a break. Not only for me but also for my family.
"We all endured it together and I just wanted the time to be a dad and be a husband and just be there for my wife and my son. I'm really glad I did it because since he was born, we had help at night and Kelley had help, but I wasn't that help, because I was competing and I had to sleep to be able to compete. So as soon as I got back home I told her I want to be more involved, obviously I want to help out. And for those two months I really, really, really enjoyed having to wake up a couple times a night and take care of my son." Read more
