For some reason I have always had a reservation about European players who have spent most of their formative and competitive years filtering through the US college system and picking up American dialect. I wonder just how European they still feel. Rahm’s talent is without question – unlike his temperament. For me, Rahm is the weak link in this team. Is he a great player? No question. Will he seamlessly fit into this team? I am not so sure.

Strengths

A bull fighter, and not scared of anyone.

Weaknesses

I question his relationship with Garcia and his deepest feelings about European golf. Let’s see.
