“Make sure your phones are on silent” - Jon Rahm tries to quiet fans amid LIV Golf's party atmosphere at Las Vegas

LIV Golf Invitational - Las Vegas - Day Three
Jon Rahm during the LIV Golf Las Vegas

During the third round on Saturday (February 10), Jon Rahm had a tough time silencing the crowd at LIV Golf Las Vegas.

LIV Golf's mantra has always been 'Golf, but harder,' and it has tried to attract fans via its colorful and loud presentation of the sport, which often does not correlate with much noise. Following its tradition, the Las Vegas event was also full of crowd noise as well as high-volume music. However, the new entrant, Rahm, found it hard to adjust to the different conditions.

On the 12th hole, Rahm was just two strokes behind the lead and had a shot at LIV Golf Las Vegas. In dire need of full concentration, his caddie, Adam Hayes, asked fans to keep calm, but his plea went in vain with no effect on the crowd whatsoever. Eventually, the Spaniard had to intervene and take the matter into his own hands.

"Make sure your phones are on silent," Rahm said while requesting to the fans.

However, the concentration was lost as Rahm ended up sinking two bogeys in the remaining holes and ending at T8 in the event. His team, Legion XIII, also finished fifth in the team portion.
