• Jon Rahm Valderrama KOs Rahm: "It's the first time in my life that I don't want to see a golf club"

Gone are 23 competitions, more than 180,000 kilometers traveled and 6,271 hits, not including those he hit in the five

. Thousands of signed autographs, airplane hours, practice laps, sponsor and media days, ad taping, and a gear change. All this with many hours of adjustments. From busy 2021,

highlights his first

win

and his consolidation at the top of golf as number one. The negative: two stoppages due to Covid19, which deprived him of a victory in the

and of fulfilling the dream of being an Olympic athlete. All concentrated in 10 months where Kepa, her first child, was also born.

On the Spanish scale clearly "the good outweighs the bad", but he has reached the end of the season physically and mentally exhausted, as he himself confessed after his failed cut at the Estrella Damm Andalucía

Masters.

Yesterday morning,

supposed to be concentrating on the driving range of the crowded Valderrama field, but Barrika's was having a relaxing breakfast with his family at the renovated and spectacular new So de Sotogrande hotel.

He then took a flight from Gibraltar to Phoenix, and from there, a four-week vacation.

"It is the first time in my life that I do not want to see a golf club and look how strange it is because I am passionate about this sport," said the Basque.

"The mind has not given for more"

Especially busy has been the end of the season, since the end of August, he fought for the

three consecutive weeks, rested a week and missed the cut in Silverado, where he already showed the first signs of fatigue. The following week, the attrition in the Ryder Cup was wild, playing all five games, and only with a few days off he set out to compete in Spain. "The public was the reason why I came, apart from wanting to win. I understand that reaching the level that I have reached, I can help Spanish golf," he commented. "I will continue to come, but I have arrived a little tired. I do not like to make excuses, I have tried, but more than the body, the mind has not given me for more," he insisted.

Golf is one of the sports where mind control is basic. You have to manage the pressure, stay focused for five hours for four days, a sport with the ball stopped in most of the development of the game where external factors also influence. Wear is very demanding, especially if you are everyone's reference and with the additional pressure of playing at home.

In addition to working in the fields, in these two weeks in Spain,

has not left a photo to take, nor an autograph to sign, now it is time to hang up the sticks for a month and enjoy his son's first crawls.

The number one will return in November to try to win the

on the European Tour.

"I will go to Dubai, but I cannot assure that I will touch a stick until then. In 2019, when I won I went without touching a stick in five or six weeks. Putting in many hours these weeks does not mean improving," Rahm explained.
