AUGUSTA, Ga.: New dad Jon Rahm was the last of the 88 players in the Masters field to arrive at Augusta National, and he moved quickly to dispel a rumour that he had named his baby after Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Rahm's wife Kelley gave birth to a boy, Kepa, on Saturday morning, leaving the world number three to spend a few days helping out with parent duties before turning his attention to golf's first major of 2021.He arrived on-site at the course at mid-morning on the eve of the tournament and he was still floating on cloud nine as he spoke about the experience.
"From Thursday to Monday didn't sleep much, didn't hit a single golf shot," the Spaniard told reporters. "You know, maybe haven't prepared as much as I have in the past, but definitely mentally in a different state, right. "A lot of times practising for a major you spend so much time thinking about golf, and for four or five days it wasn't even on my mind, which is kind of refreshing."Rahm, a supporter of Spanish soccer team Athletic Bilbao where Arrizabalaga played before joining Chelsea in 2018, explained that they had chosen 'Kepa' as it is a traditional name in the Basque Country, the golfer's home region.
