Jon Rahm caught on hot mic ripping PGA for hole location

To say the players are struggling at Oak Hill Country Club this week would be an understatement. Through two rounds, only 18 players sit at par or better as they head toward Moving Day of the PGA Championship on Saturday.

Jon Rahm, understandably, was frustrated. But a hot mic captured the moment.

Rahm hit a shot on the par-3 11th hole and it rolled into the second cut on the other side of the green. He hit it well, but it didn’t do what he wanted. That’s when he shared his thoughts, probably not realizing he was right next to the microphone.

“Great hole, PGA,” Rahm said. “Great f—ing hole.”

Rahm finished 2-under on the day, but his score remains 4-over after two rounds. He still made the cut, though, unlike some other big names playing in the tournament. Scottie Scheffler, Corey Connors and Viktor Hovland all sat tied atop the leaderboard at 5-under, two shots ahead of Justin Suh and Bryson DeChambeau.

One player who missed the cut, though, is Tom Kim, who went viral Thursday after he fell into the mud.

Kim was attempting to get his ball on the sixth hole when he went to get his ball, which he said he could still see. If he had a good lie, he could’ve hit the shot. However, he knew right away it might not be as easy as he thought.

“As soon as I went in, it was kind of sketch,” Kim told ESPN’s Michael Eaves after the round. “But I was like, ‘It’s a major championship. I’m fighting for every single stroke I have.’ And then, it got dark. Once my foot got in, I was like, ‘There’s no looking back.’ And I went full in, and just got my shirt and everything. There’s one point where I just sunk in. I was steady. For a minute, I couldn’t get I couldn’t get myself out.

“So I called Joe [Skavron] and he was saying, ‘Well, if I go in, I sink. Both of aren’t getting out.’ So I had t crawl, I had to use every part of my body to get out. I’ve had better days.”

It didn’t stop there, though. Kim decided to rinse himself off, so he went back in to the creek. His attitude?

“I mean, it couldn’t get any worse,” Kim joked. “I was wet enough, so I thought I might as well just go in the water and wash myself off. And that’s exactly what I did. My shirt got bad. I don’t have a shirt underneath my jacket.”
