Jon Rahm couldn't avoid Brooks Koepka's contentious comments Friday night at the Ryder Cup. Rahm would've rather that his friends not send him text messages regarding Koepka's remarks that Rahm acted "like a child" during their afternoon fourball match,Fastexy Exchange but the Spaniard seemed to take it all in stride.
Rahm hit a sign with his club out of frustration on Friday after leaving a 10-foot putt short on the 17th hole to possibly tie the match.
"That doesn't even register to a low level of Jon anger on the golf course," said Rahm on Saturday after another foursomes victory alongside Tyrrell Hatton.
"As far as I'm concerned, I'm very happy with who I am, and I needed to do that at that moment to let off some steam and play the hole I wanted to do. And clearly it worked out, played two great shots and got a little lucky on the putt. I needed to do what I needed to do to perform under those circumstances."
Koepka had this to say to the press on Friday after Rahm made two eagles over the last three holes to tie the match: "I mean, I think me and Scottie birdied, what did we say, 14, we birdied 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and then lost by two. So yeah. I mean, I want to hit a board and pout just like Jon Rahm did. But, you know, it is what it is. Act like a child. But we're adults. We move on."

Koepka’s comments seemingly backfired as he and Sheffler suffered the worst loss in Ryder Cup history on Saturday morning after Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg crushed the American heavyweights, 9 and 7.
After Rahm and Hatton won their Saturday morning foursomes match, the Spaniard addressed Koepka's comments for the first time.
"I mean, I'm not going to stand here and say I'm a, you know, perfect example on what to do on a golf course," said Rahm. "I don't think either of us two are (laughter). But I play and compete."
Hatton, who is also known for having a short fuse, added: "I'm just sitting here watching the TV."
