VOLUME 40 ISSUE 5 PAGE 4 BASQUE FACT OF THE WEEK: JON RAHM, NUMBER 1 GOLFER IN THE WORLD On Sunday, July 19, 2020, Jon Rahm won the Memorial Tourna- ment, founded in 1976 by Jack Nicklaus and held every year in Dublin, Ohio. The win catapulted Rahm to the top of the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time in his young career. Rahm was born in the Basque Country and is the first Basque golfer to reach the top of the world ranking. After winning the Memori- al, in a post-tournament interview, Rahm thanked his parents in Euskara: “Aita, Ama, eskerrik asko, eskerrik as- ko guztiagatik, benetan, eskerrik asko.” Jon Rahm Rodríguez was born in Barrika, Bizkaia, on November 10, 1994. Barrika is one of the oldest towns in Bizkaia, founded in 496 by Sancho Vela. Rahm’s mother is from Madrid while his father is from the Basque Country. The Rahm name comes from an ancestor who immigrated to Bilbao from Switzerland in the 1820s. Rahm is a big supporter of Athletic Bilbao. Rahm isn’t the first Basque golfer to do well on the international stage. José María Olazábal Manterola, born in Hondarribia, Gipuzkoa, won the Masters Tournament twice, in 1994 and 1999, and had a total of 30 professional wins. Olazábal holds the record for the longest put, 9.323 miles… he made the shot on a traveling Concorde jet. His highest world ranking was 2. Under the new California Covid guidelines there are no indoor re- strictions (wearing a mask, social distancing, etc.) for those who Astero have been vaccinated.

  • Masters Tournament Pre-Event Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE 20 YEARS OF ROLEX AND THE MASTERS TOURNAMENT Geneva, Switzerland, Tuesday, 02 April 2019 – As the freshly blooming azaleas of Augusta National Golf Club mark the arrival of the northern spring, the golfing world’s attention turns towards Georgia, USA, for the first men’s Major of the year – the Masters Tournament, which has been supported by Rolex since 1999. For more than 50 years Rolex has forged one of the most enduring partnerships between a brand and sport, based on a commitment to excellence in everything they do. Central to this relationship is Rolex’s long-standing support for men’s and women’s Majors. For two decades, Rolex has shown its unwavering commitment to Augusta National Golf Club and its famed fairways. In 2019, the 83rd edition of this most prestigious event marks the 20th anniversary of Rolex Testimonee José María Olazábal winning the title for a second time. It is also 25 years since the Spaniard claimed his first Masters win in 1994. Olazábal’s win in 1999 capped a period of sustained success for European players at Augusta National. Including 1999, eight of the previous 12 Masters Tournaments had been won by Europeans, among them, fellow Rolex Testimonee Bernhard Langer, also a two-time champion. ROLEX new guard As former champions, both will line up alongside the modern marvels of the game, including Jon Rahm, another Testimonee and a countryman of Olazábal, who enjoyed a rich run of form at the 2018 Masters. The 24-year-old demonstrated his precocious talent by finishing fourth in just his second start at Augusta National Golf Club.

  • Rolex Testimonee Jon Rahm Captures First U.S. Open with Thrilling Display at Torrey Pines
    NOTE TO MEDIA ROLEX TESTIMONEE JON RAHM CAPTURES FIRST U.S. OPEN WITH THRILLING DISPLAY AT TORREY PINES San Diego, California, United States, Monday 21 June 2021 – Rolex Testimonee Jon Rahm won the 121st U.S. Open to capture his maiden Major title, becoming the first Spanish player to win the Championship. Jon Rahm displayed impressive accuracy, precision, and spirit throughout the tournament to win, attributes that resonate strongly with Rolex’s own pursuit of perpetual excellence in its watchmaking and all other endeavours. In winning this global Championship, the 26-year-old Spaniard secured the first Major title and 13th victory of his professional career as well as rising to No. 1 on the Official World Golf Ranking. He joins an esteemed group of players to have won their first Major at the U.S. Open including fellow Rolex Testimonees Jack Nicklaus, Curtis Strange, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau. Following Sunday’s final round, Jon Rahm, said: “It’s incredible that I’m sitting next to this trophy. I’ve been close before, and I just knew on a Sunday, the way I have been playing the last few Majors, I just had to be close. I knew I could get it done.” Renowned as one of America’s greatest public golf courses and situated atop cliffs towering above the Pacific Ocean, the South Course at Torrey Pines previously hosted the Championship in 2008 and once again produced four days of testing conditions, placing a premium on accurate driving and precision putting. Coming back from three- shots behind after 54 holes, Rahm closed with back-to-back birdies to post a final- round 67 to finish with a six-under-par total of 278, to win by one stroke.
