Jon Rahm on his two-stroke penalty: ‘The ball did move'

Jon Rahm had no issue being assessed a two-stroke penalty on his chip-in for an apparent birdie at the 16th hole Sunday en route to winning the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide. While it reduced his margin of victory over good friend Ryan Palmer from five strokes to three, Rahm was still elated with the shot … and that his integrity remained intact. RELATED: Final leaderboard | What’s in Rahm’s bag? The shot in question was his second from the rough just off the green at the par-3 16th. As Rahm was at address, the ball moved slightly. Rahm then holed the shot, but slow-motion replays showed the label on the ball moving slightly. “I didn’t see it,” Rahm said. “You know, I promised open honestly and I’m a loyal person and I don’t want to win by cheating. … The ball did move. It’s as simple as that.” Rahm was first asked about the potential of a penalty during his post-round interview with CBS prior to reaching the scoring area. Slugger White, PGA TOUR Vice President of Rules & Competition, then showed the replay to Rahm and the penalty was assessed prior to signing his scorecard. Instead of birdie, he suffered a bogey at the hole, with the two-stroke penalty giving Rahm a 3-over 75 in the final round, leaving him at 9 under for the week. “The rule is 9.4,” White said. “It was a ball at rest by the player, moved, and since he didn’t put it back, he was assessed a general penalty, which is two strokes. That’s pretty much the bottom line. … “When he put the club down behind the ball, it moved ever so slightly to the left, so it changed positions. He accepted it like a gentleman and the man that he is, and we just went on with it.” Rahm, who moved to world No. 1 with the win and inside the top 10 (No. 8) in the FedExCup standings, said he was surprised when he was first informed about the potential for a penalty, and also a little confused. But after seeing the replay, he agreed with the ruling. “Had I seen it, I would have said something or maybe questioned — not questioned, asked for a rules official and explained what happened and would have gone from there. But I mean, he had to zoom it in the iPad so much to see what was a very minimal oscillation that could have basically just been me putting the club down and all the grass just simply going down,” Rahm explained. “It barely moves at all. Everything goes down with it. But the rules of golf are clear, and the ball did move. Unfortunately, it’s going to have a bittersweet feeling to what was possibly one of the greatest shots of my career, the shot that this Sunday gave me the victory, but … I accept the penalty. That goes to show that you have to fight until the end. “I could have very easily maybe just given up on the up-and-down on 17 and 18 and finished with two bogeys, and possibly after the penalty strokes given myself a scare and possibly gone to a playoff and still fought hard. Every shot counts, and I tried every shot and got those two last up-and-downs, as a true Spaniard would, and it is what it is.” The bottom line is that it didn’t change what Rahm accomplished this week. With the pressure on, he hit a great shot … and now he’s the world’s top-ranked golfer. He’s just the second Spanish golfer to be No. 1, following in the footsteps of the legendary Seve Ballesteros. “If it doesn’t change the outcome of the tournament, does it really matter? Maybe. Again, I accept what it is; it did move. It doesn’t take anything from the day, though. It’s still probably one of the greatest days of my life,” Rahm said. “I know it doesn’t sound like it because I’m still processing things and maybe in a week I’ll be completely ecstatic about everything, but proud that I did what I did, proud that I chipped that in, and proud that I finished the way I did.”

Despite two majors, a World Golf Championship and a pair of beefed-up FedExCup Playoffs events scattered among the first 12 tournaments in Segment 4, the board illustrating the highest ownership percentages for the BMW Championship is covered in chalk. Only Patrick Cantlay at No. 9 starts the week outside the top 17 in the FedExCup standings. He’s 41st in points. (The top 21 in every edition of the Playoffs has advanced. The format since 2015 is the third iteration.) The dispersion qualifies as empirical data to characterize the depth on the PGA TOUR. While gamers are influenced by factors such as momentum, course history and course fit, there’s so much value to go around in a six-man format like PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf presented by SERVPRO that we’ve been able to sustain strength during the most challenging segment of the season.

In the results-based business of fantasy sports, the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately component varies more than any other, so our reaction to it is almost always directly proportional. This explains the support for Marc Leishman at No. 2 among One & Doners at the BMW Championship, he placed solo third at the Dell Technologies Championship. If you’ve submitted a pick for all of the first 38 events, latching onto a proven talent like that this late is akin to capturing a nugget when panning for gold. If you’re not convinced that his performance at TPC Boston persuaded probably all of his investors in its afterglow, consider that he missed the cut at THE NORTHERN TRUST and finished T39 in his only appearance at Conway Farms four years ago. Because the TOUR Championship concludes the season, next week’s final installment of ownership percentages will be the most compelling, but of the notables outside this week’s top 10 and projected to advance, only Justin Rose and Rickie Fowler spring off the screen as horses at East Lake. This is to say that, on average, gamers are playing aggressively for the now. Since the majority are in pursuit, that approach is spot on. Owned Rank  Player  Percentage 1st  Dustin Johnson (defending champion)  7.9% 2nd  Marc Leishman  7.7% 3rd  Justin Thomas  7.3% 4th  Jason Day  6.6% 5th  Paul Casey  5.8% 6th  Jordan Spieth  5.0% 7th  Jon Rahm  4.6% 8th  Patrick Cantlay  4.4% 9th  Henrik Stenson  4.3% 10th  Hideki Matsuyama  3.9% Other notables Owned Rank  Player  Percentage 13th  Justin Rose  2.6% 15th  Rickie Fowler  2.3% 16th  Brooks Koepka  2.2% 17th  Patrick Reed  2.1% 18th  Rory McIlroy  1.8% 19th  Charley Hoffman  1.6% 20th  Matt Kuchar  1.6% T21  Zach Johnson  1.3% 26th  Phil Mickelson  1.1%
