Jon Rahm, with a thick beard, lips pressed tightly, his gaze increasingly confused, suddenly found himself disoriented. His enormous arms were no longer making the balls reach the streets but where the weeds were buried and restless. Where nothingness swallows you. Legs crammed into too-tight trousers represented a toughness that was not quite so. The Biscayan had a four-stroke lead in the gold race by mid-morning. But he came face to face with one of those psychological walls that golfers fear so much. Sooner or later, they always appear. Rahm found him at the worst moment; his pursuers were hunting him down and catching up with him. He finished with -15 (he was -20), tied for fifth place with Rory McIlroy. The world’s best, Scottie Scheffler (-19), showed no mercy in a magnificent final round. It was gold for him; Britain’s Tommy Fleetwood (-18) and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama (-17) took the silver and bronze in time. Meanwhile, Spanish golf was deprived of what would have been its first medal in history.
