Jon Rahm had f-bombs for everybody at the British Open.
Rahm has been straddling the cut line in the season’s final major, as he entered Friday at 3-over, but was able to shoot a 1-under 70 in the second round to finish at 2-over, just inside the 3-over cut line.
Rahm, 28, explained his aggravations with TV camera and microphone crews to reporters after his round.
“I’m trying to walk, and there’s way too many people in my way, and I can’t go forward at my pace because they’re in the way,” the two-time major champion said.
“Very simple. Then I’m walking off 18 and I’m trying to deal with the unlucky moment on 18, and there’s somebody with a boom mic on my ass keeping up with Rory [McIlroy]’s pace, and I can’t go at my own pace. They kind of disregarded that I existed, that’s all.”
According to Golfweek, this was the third straight major in which Rahm has had issues with the TV crew, and let them hear about it “in a f-bomb-laden rant.”
This wasn’t the only situation in which Rahm was visibly annoyed during the second round on Friday.
On the 10th hole on Friday, Rahm’s frustrations boiled over when he missed a short putt for par, as a hot mic picked up an audible f-bomb.
Warning: Graphic Language
Rahm, who is married to Kelley Cahill, won The Masters earlier this year, and was also the 2021 U.S. Open champion.
American Brian Harman is leading the British Open, having shot a six-under on Friday to finish the first two rounds at ten-under par.
