What has upset Jon Rahm now? "At this point, I don't care!"
Jon Rahm admitted he was past caring about returning to the World No.1 spot as he bids to make history on the PGA Tour.
Jon Rahm admitted "at this point I don't care" if he wins the Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour and doesn't replace Rory McIlroy as the World No. 1.
Rahm was in danger of missing the cut in at Torrey Pines after he saw his streak of 12 consecutive under par rounds come to an end on Thursday with an uncharacteristic 1-over par 73 in California.
He let the F bombs fly as he struggled to gain momentum. Rahm shifted gears on Friday and now has Sam Ryder firmly in his sights.
Rahm is now bidding to become the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win three in a row on the PGA Tour.
Depending on results elsewhere, Rahm could also return to the summit of the Official World Golf Ranking.
Rahm has not hidden how frustrated he is with the current system, and it's nothing to do with LIV Golf League players tumbling down the rankings.
Both he and McIlroy expressed polar opposite points of view before the DP World Tour Championship.

Now, though? Will he care if he returns to the top?
Rahm said:
He continued:
What did Rory McIlroy say about the OWGR system?
McIlroy claimed he believed the OWGR is the "fairest system right now", although he laughed at the dilemma facing the LIV Golf players.
