'I said last week, I was looking forward to Caleb hopefully having a good tournament and not needing to birdie something like the last four holes for us to win, so it's great to look at the scoreboard and see just that,' Rahm said of Surratt on LIV Golf's broadcast on FS1. 'He is a phenomenal talent, phenomenal player. It's the first podium in his career and first top 10, he should be proud of that. 'He's phenomenal player. I think my goal was always to try to keep the core of the team young. We did just that, even with Kieran (Vincent) last year. Tyrrell and myself, being the older guys last year, 33 and 29, it's not like the craziest thing in the world, right, so I think that was a big part of why the team has done well. Yeah, he might have some inexperience, but he's got the world ahead of him and his whole career ahead of him, so you expect it from someone like him to have a couple of rough weeks, but he's playing really good golf and hopefully this is the confidence booster he needs to take it to another level.'
