Jon Rahm Reluctantly Agrees With Luke Donald On Controversial Sergio Garcia Decision

Skipping the senior and experienced players from the Ryder Cup team is a hard decision for the captain. Well, the same was experienced by Jon Rahm, who wished for his fellow European to be on the team, but unfortunately had to agree with Luke Donald’s call. This year, Jon Rahm was the captain’s pick, but apart from him, Sergio Garcia was left out of the team.

Now, before the BMW PGA Championship, he was asked about the decision. Talking of which, he took his side, saying, “My heart is always going to say yes, right. He’s a good friend of mine, he’s a Spanish player, and the moments we shared in Whistling and Paris, personally, I’m always going to want him around. He did play good early on in the year, very, very good. He was playing incredible golf, maybe in some parts of the world that you weren’t watching.” 

However, later, with his struggling form, he agreed with the captain, Luke Donald. He said, “It seemed like from April on, he didn’t keep that level. So I don’t think he helped himself. I understand that while we are not earning points or the rankings, we need to make a really strong case to be picked. Had he kept that level, he might have been on the team, but he didn’t play as good as he could have. Subjectively, I’m always going to root for him.”
