WATCH: Jon Rahm shocks Ryder Cup fans with otherworldly (!) shot at Marco Simone
Jon Rahm left golf fans in shock with an otherworldly shot in his Sunday singles match against Scottie Scheffler at the Ryder Cup.
Golf fans were speculating how this Jon Rahm shot during the Ryder Cup in his match against Scottie Scheffler was even possible.
Rahm started strongly in his Sunday singles match at the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome.
Roared on by a thunderous crowd, the Spanish World No. 2 was up by two after five holes thanks to three birdies.
Scheffler began to turn the tide by making birdie at No. 6 and looked as though he was going to square the match up at the 10th.
That was after Rahmbo missed his drive off-the-planet right. He was faced with the prospect of the ball well above his feet.
His caddie Adam Hayes informed him he had approximately 180 yards to the pin. Somehow, he got it on the green.

What an extraordinary shot. Scheffler was in the middle of the fairway and two-putted for par.
Rahm also only needed two putts from 49ft to tie the hole with Scheffler.
Golf fans were in awe of the shot. Sharing their thoughts on X, formerly Twitter, one wrote: "I saw it, and I'm still not convinced that's even possible."
Another added: "Absolutely insane. Love that."
Scheffler was having a tough time at this Ryder Cup. He was desperately upset when he and Brooks Koepka were trounced 9&7 by Swedish rookie Ludvig Aberg and Viktor Hovland on Saturday.
It was the largest defeat inflicted in Ryder Cup history and Scheffler was reduced to tears and comforted by his wife Meredith Scudder.
Rahm had already collected 2.5 points for Team Europe before his singles match whereas Scheffler had registered half a point with Team USA.
