Team Europe captain Luke Donald has shared his views on the ongoing feud between Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka, after the latter lashed out after Team USA\u2019s miserable start to the Ryder Cup. The Spaniard appeared furious with Rahm\u2019s behaviour on Day 1 of the competition, labelling him a \u2018child\u2019.<\/p>\n
Rahm was partnered up with Nicolai Hojgaard to face off against Koepka and Scottie Scheffler, and the Masters champion managed to secure himself a half-point on the day. Team USA\u2019s failure to win a single point on the first day of the competition saw tempers flare in Rome, and Koepka made it no secret that he as unhappy with how his rival conducted himself.<\/p>\n
Speaking after play concluded on Friday, the American said: \u201cI 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\u2019re adults. We move on.\u201d Koepka refused to expand on his point but seemed outraged by Rahm\u2019s performance, but Team Europe captain Donald refused to make any assumptions about the remark.<\/p>\n
Asked about the situation, he said: \u201cI didn’t see any of that. John was a big support system for Nikolai today. To hit a drive down 18, hit it on the front of the green and hit an eagle for half, that’s a lot of passion. Jon’s a passionate person, but I couldn’t imagine him any other way.\u201d<\/p>\n
