Embracing the passionate crowd, Rahm anticipates a surge in intensity once the competition officially begins.
Jon Rahm, preparing for the Ryder Cup, found virtual reality headsets inadequate against the imaginative heckling from New York fans. The technology was meant to desensitize players, but Rahm noted it couldn't match the inventiveness of the local crowd.
During practice rounds at Bethpage Black, fans targeted Rahm with humorous remarks, referencing weight-loss medication in their catcalls. Despite the jibes, the two-time major champion seems to relish New York's famously fervent environment.
The 29-year-old expects the atmosphere to intensify when the three-day event kicks off on Friday, but he's unfazed. For Rahm, the humor and passion of the fans enhance the Ryder Cup experience.
