DESERT CLASSIC


January 20, 2019


Jon Rahm


La Quinta, California

Q. You said after yesterday's round that you would have to have a great round in order to win. I thought you did have a great round, those guys in front of you played really well too.
JON RAHM: Yeah, definitely. I started thinking about it last night, I thought I was going to need somewhere around 8-, 9-, 10-under. I definitely played really good tee to green to make a lot of birdies, but it's just I didn't make a few of the short ones and I didn't get the run that I needed. Still a great heck of a round, final round under par, 21-under total, I mean 41-under in two years here, so I'll definitely take it -- actually, no, 42.

Q. And I thought you putted well. I thought that a twist of the ball here or there on and those putts drop.
JON RAHM: Oh, yeah, there was a lot of them close, it wasn't like it was bad putts, it was just a couple of them that -- I missed a lip out on 11, just short putts you don't want to see missed, but still that's how good I hit it tee to green, right? When you got a lot of looks and you start missing sometimes it's easy to get a little bit anxious but still I wouldn't say my putting was bad.

Q. And now you get to go to Torrey Pines and carry a lot of momentum down there. Maybe another win there.
JON RAHM: Hopefully. What's working is tee to green which is something that you really need at Torrey Pines, so hopefully I got another good week coming up.
