"Superstar is rarefied air" Renowned analyst makes OUTRAGEOUS Jon Rahm claim
Brandel Chamblee has claimed Jon Rahm, the Spanish World No. 3, is currently "not a superstar" like Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth.
Aside from going on a deep dive about Patrick Reed's latest rules incident, Brandel Chamblee also made an interesting claim about Jon Rahm.
That claim? Rahm is currently not a superstar. According to Chamblee, Rahm needs to improve his iron play as it's "not the stuff of legend".
Chamblee said that Rahm, who is ranked third in the world, would need to hit a "sustained level of dominance and dependability over a three-to-five-year period" to fall in to this bracket.

The 60-year-old former PGA Tour player said on the Golf Central Show:
He continued:
Rahm has now claimed nine PGA Tour victories, including his maiden major at the 2021 U.S. Open.
He had an opportunity to win three tournaments in a row last week but his challenge faded at the Farmers Insurance Open as Max Homa claimed his sixth win.
Rahm said he couldn't explain his uncharacteristic final round.
The Spaniard turned professional in 2016 and since capturing his maiden title in 2017 he has won in every single year since.
He ascended to the World No. 1 position in July 2020 but was toppled by Scottie Scheffler.
Rory McIlroy is currently ranked the best player in the world.
