Playing in the Masters is something every golfer with professional aspirations dreams of when theyâre growing up. Imagining the starter yelling âFore please! Driving now â¦â sends goosebumps down most golferâs spines. Itâs a special tournament hosted at a special venue, and those fortunate enough to tee it up at golfâs most famous course know how lucky they are.
In addition to inducing goosebumps, the first tee shot at Augusta National is a unique one. Thereâs no place in golf quite like it.
Jon Rahm explains how to putt at Augusta National
âIt is something special,â Jon Rahm said in this weekâs edition of GOLFâs Subpar. âYou have all the patrons on the tee box literally right there. It is always packed and the way they introduce you is just so unique.â
But although it is a special tee shot, Rahm said the nerves on the tee are no different than those at any other PGA Tour event. Although there are some nerves present as you try to find the short grass and get your round off to the best start possible.
âIf youâre a little nervous, it could be because itâs one of the hardest tee shots on the golf course,â Rahm said. âItâs an important tee shot more than a lot of other opening tee shots.â
Check out the entire episode of Subpar below as Rahm discusses an over-blown Augusta narrative, how to putt at the Masters and more.
