Jon Rahm has sights set on third leg of career grand slam at British Open
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — If history and trends are what may sway you into picking who'll win the 153rd British Open, then Jon Rahm might be your man. Rahm, the 30-year-old Spaniard who's won a U.S. Open and a Masters, is seeking the third leg of a career Grand Slam this week at Portrush. Advertisement More important than that to Rahm, though, is the chance to become just the second Spanish player ever to win an Open — and the first since his idol Seve Ballesteros lifted the Claret Jug in 1988. Rahm loves links golf, calling it 'the closest I'll ever feel to playing at home without being at home.'' He, too, has excelled in it, having won two Irish Opens — including one 10 minutes up the road from Portrush at Portstewart. Advertisement Rahm this year has top 10 finishes at both the U.S. Open and PGA Championship, and arrived to Northern Ireland after coming in second to Talor Gooch at the LIV Golf event at Valderrama in Spain. 'I always feel close,'' Rahm said Tuesday when asked about his current form. 'I'm always confident that I'm there. Last week, especially on Sunday, it was a very good round of golf. So, [I'm] feeling good, feeling confident. Hopefully I can give it a run again this week.' Jon Rahm hits a shot during a British Open practice round on July 15, 2025. Reuters Asked if he's ever envisioned himself lifting the Claret Jug as an Open champion, Rahm was quick to answer: 'Yes.'' Advertisement 'In my opinion, the Open Championship is the most prestigious event you can win in golf,'' he said. 'For my understanding of the game and the history of the game, I think the Claret Jug is the most special one. There's an order to it, too, because it changes venues, so if you can win it in St. Andrews, I don't think anything in golf can come close to that. Jon Rahm has a laugh during his British Open practice round on July 15, 2025. Reuters 'It's the home of golf. Golf started in this part of the world. It's the oldest championship we have, and that's what makes it so special — the type of golf we play, the links courses where in theory is meant to be played, the elements, the weather, it's quite unique.''
