The Spaniard stated that the seven-day stretch spent in the Big Apple was the 'toughest week' of his illustrious career since turning professional in 2016. A big factor that played into his experience was the massive crowd.

Here's a look at what Jon Rahm had to say about the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black (via X @SkySportsGolf):

"That week in New York was mentally the toughest week of my career. At times, I couldn't believe it. You could compare it to soccer, but then you have the noise of 50,000 people, and you don't actually hear what each person is saying. Every step I took, I could hear everything."
