Mandatory Credit: Hamad I Mohammed/Reuters via Imagn Images Jon Rahm admitted on Tuesday that he barely had time to savor victory in Hong Kong on Sunday before turning his attention to LIV Golf Singapore this week.
The Spaniard claimed his first individual tournament win since September 2024 with a three-shot victory over Belgium’s Thomas Detri in Hong Kong.
“Obviously, I don’t know if I had too much time because I have to get on a plane to get here at 10 a.m. the next day, so my mindset changes almost immediately to this week, which I think can be both a blessing and a curse,” he said Tuesday. “You can probably celebrate your accomplishments later, but it’s also a blessing to get the opportunity to compete right away knowing you’re doing well.
“I think momentum is important, but you have to prove it, right? So you have to keep trying.
“I think it’s very easy to get a little complacent and say, ‘I did well last week and I’ll be fine this week.’ No, you still have to do all the good work.”
Rahm, 31, performed well last season at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore, tying for fifth place.
Although he doesn’t get ahead of himself, Rahm has relished the notion of recording back-to-back tournament wins.
“This will be the first time since 2023. I think there have only been a very few times in my career that I have been able to do them back-to-back, and they are usually spaced out by a few weeks rather than consecutive weeks,” he said. “It would be a huge achievement and hopefully I can give myself a chance on Sunday.”
But with talk of a possible second Masters title in April, Rahm attempted to apply the brakes.
“Yes, but it came this week. I’m going to South Africa next week and I still have two weeks off. There’s still a lot of time until the Masters,” said Rahm, who won the 2023 Augusta National and the 2021 U.S. Open.
“Today I will think about what to do here in Singapore, and when the time comes, I will think about Augusta.
“Then there’s the little things: What we can do while preparing for the tournament also helps Augusta, so it’s a balancing act.”
