Jon Rahm Had a Hilariously Blunt Reaction to Sam Burns's Wayward Drive at Ryder Cup

From strategically conceding putts to hushing the crowd, we haven’t seen many match-play theatrics thus far at the 2023 Ryder Cup—and that’s probably because Europe came out of the gates with a historic 4-0 sweep of the Americans.

But Masters champion Jon Rahm allowed a bit of gamesmanship to poke through on the European side on Friday morning.

Rahm and his alternate-shot partner Tyrrell Hatton were already 4 up over Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns by the time they reached the 14th hole at Marco Simone. Burns was clearly struggling with his ball-striking and Scheffler couldn’t make a putt. The combination just wasn’t ideal for the Americans.

For that reason, no one was particularly surprised when Burns snap-hooked his tee shot on No. 14. But Rahm made sure to let everyone know where the wayward shot was headed anyway.

Watch Rahm’s reaction 🤣🤣🤣

Disguised as an effort to protect the Marco Simone spectators, Rahm pointed his arm aggressively to the left as he walked across the back of the tee box.

The best part? The Spaniard didn’t even bother to watch the entirety of Burns’s ball flight. He just kept charging forward with the blunt arm signal.

Although subtle, Rahm’s move turned out to be one of the funnier moments of the opening foursome session. Let’s hope there’s more where that came from as the fourball matches wrap up on Friday afternoon.
