The world number three is aware of the rich Spanish tradition in the event and has recently spoken to Europe’s record points scorer Sergio Garcia
“I did talk to him and ask for advice. He [showed] me a lot of what to do at Whistling Straits and obviously in Paris as well. I did have a chat with him, and with [Ian] Poulter as well. Not that it’s going to be easy to take on that role that those two had both on and off the golf course, but to hear them talk about what they thought and what they felt is obviously invaluable information,” said Rahm.

When asked to highlight his three top memories of the Ryder Cup Rahm opted for the 1987 win , the 2006 match at The K Club, because of the emotions involved with Darren Clarke, playing six weeks after the death of his wife Heather, and Garcia becoming Europe’s record points scorer in 2021.
“I was world number one going into the last Ryder Cup, and it really didn’t mean anything. I’d like to think that whatever we have done before this week and whatever we may do after this week doesn’t really matter. It shouldn’t really impact how we prepare for this week. At the end of the day it’s match play, and it’s all about doing the best job you can to beat the person in front of you that session, that’s really it.
Rahm keeping it simple. Ready, and certainly able, for the leadership task required of him. Ready to step into Garcia’s shoes.
