"After his drive found the left rough on the par-4 eighth hole, Rahm saw his lie and started complaining: "What a day, what a day," he said, followed by an expletive. The marshal who marked his ball said "It's OK," and Rahm immediately looked at him and said: "Don't tell me it's OK, please. Thank you." The marshal apologized as he walked away, while Rahm continued complaining: "It's not OK.""
"Rahm is trying to win a record fourth Spanish Open title and surpass Seve Ballesteros as the tournament's most successful golfer since the creation of the European tour in 1972. Rahm is making his seventh appearance in Madrid, with his victories coming in 2018, 2019 and 2022. He was runner-up to fellow Spaniard Angel Hidalgo in a playoff last year."
Jon Rahm briefly argued with a marshal after his drive found the left rough on the par-4 eighth at the Spanish Open. Rahm vocalized frustration, exchanged words with the marshal, made par on the eighth and bogeyed the ninth to finish 1-over 72. Rahm holed a bunker shot for an eagle on the par-5 14th but recorded only one birdie and four bogeys. Shane Lowry shot 4-over 75 with six bogeys and two birdies. Marco Penge and Frederic Lacroix led the clubhouse at 5-under 66. The tournament now awards the winner automatic Masters and British Open spots.
