The Latest: Rahm quickly gets into Ryder Cup spirit

SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France (AP) — The Latest on the Ryder Cup at Le Golf National (all times local):

9:45 a.m.

Jon Rahm was willing to show some deference as one of five European rookies at the Ryder Cup. That didn’t last long, especially when it came to the social media network that Europe is using this week.

Rahm and Rory McIlroy played together during the first practice sessions, and McIlroy was hitting it well past him off the tee. When they finished, Rahm was on the massage table and had fallen asleep because of jet lag. He says McIlroy took a picture of him in nothing but his underwear, posted it on the team WhatsApp network and said the Spaniard couldn’t handle McIlroy outdriving him.

Rahm laughs telling the story and says all bets were off at that point.

“Once I realized what the tone was going to be, within 30 seconds, here we go,” Rahm said. “It’s pretty much free-wheel to say what you want to anybody, which is obviously a great thing because we all have a lot of fun.”
