Jon Rahm is known for letting his emotions get the best of him on the golf course, and the 2025 U.S. Open was no exception. After a stellar opening round where he finished 1-under, Rahm’s game took a nosedive on Friday, with a 5-over 75 leaving him 4-over for the tournament. The final hole was a fitting end to his day, where he missed a short par putt and let out a loud “F***,” as his ball lipped around the hole.
Rahm tapped in for a bogey five, ending his day on a low note. It’s not the first time Rahm’s frustration has gotten the better of him; he dropped an F-bomb at the LIV Golf Virginia event. A similar occurrence has also taken place at the Open Championship. Rahm had a promising start to his round at Royal Portrush, reaching the turn at 2 under par. However, his momentum was quickly derailed by back-to-back bogeys on the first two holes of the back nine, dropping him back to even par.
Despite his early success, Rahm struggled to maintain his pace, and a challenging stretch of holes has tested his skills. Given his recent performances, including a runner-up finish at LIV Golf Andalucia, Rahm’s frustration grew as his score fell. And Rahm let his words slip when a fan whistled in the middle of his shot. “Really? Whistling? Great time. Right in my backswing. Very smart, whoever it was”, said a clearly antsy Rahm, and let’s just say the spectators are not a fan of the golfer’s words.
“Already drunk? It is Ireland”, said one fan while the other reiterated the commentary as they wrote, “The announcers saying ‘funny how you only seem to hear it when you had a poor shot’ ”
One fan took a jab at LIV Golf and Rahm with their comment, “Is he not used to the singing and clapping on his tour?”
