Expectations? Who Knows Says Rahm At Quiet Colonial

Lots of good stuff from Kevin Robbins who is covering the Charles Schwab Challenge for GolfDigest.com, including noting the bizarre quiet across Colonial and this from Jon Rahm

“Expectations?” asked Rahm. “Who knows?”

Rahm has never played in a professional golf tournament that looks like a Sunday skins game. He actually hasn’t even played golf in seven weeks, he said, so the matter of expectations isn’t only about what Colonial will look like, or sound like, when the shots matter Thursday morning.

But it’s what he was thinking at his remote press conference (also a first). “Can you imagine if somebody makes a 30-foot bomb on 18 to win the tournament? Nothing? Crickets?” said Rahm, the 2017 champion at Colonial who, like everyone here, had more questions Tuesday than answers.

Here’s one answer he did have: “It’s going to be a little weird.”

For the punters of the world who are bullish on Rahm this week given his strong run prior to the play stoppage, news of how little he’s playing might have you reconsidering.
