Following the Ryder Cup success, Jon Rahm is back in action this week for the Acciona Open de España. While he is receiving adulation in Europe for the away win, he said it was a bit 'weird' being praised individually for what was a team effort.
Rahm is in Madrid for the Acciona Open de España, which tees off on Thursday, October 9 at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid. This is his first event since Team Europe posted a 15-13 win over the USA in the Ryder Cup.
On Tuesday, October 7, during the pre-event press conference, Rahm was asked about the feeling of returning to Europe after the Ryder Cup win.
"It is very weird being congratulated for something that I didn't just do myself, right," he said. "Like when I get thank yous and congratulations, I wish we were all together because we all deserve it, right. It wasn't just me. I only contributed three points out of 15, right, and all of those three with a partner. So it's an odd feeling, but it's very nice to be able to give that to European golf."

Reflecting on the thoughts of homecoming after the away Ryder Cup success, Jon Rahm said the past two weeks have been emotional for him.
"Being part of a Ryder Cup is something so unique, so special, especially winning away," he added. "It's incredible. It's an incredible feeling. But then coming to Spain, an event that matters so much to me, hoping to win for the fourth time. Hard to put it into words, right. May not be the biggest event in the world but to me it's one of the biggest."
