Masters champion Jon Rahm is targeting a "jacket double" after resisting the temptation to withdraw from the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head.Rahm claimed his second major title at Augusta National on Sunday and revealed he was thrilled to receive a congratulatory message from tennis star Rafael Nadal.However, the world number one has put the celebrations on hold for a week to make the short journey from Georgia to South Carolina to contest one of the PGA Tour's designated events, whose prize fund of $20m is $2m more than the Masters."Monday I was extremely tired.

I don’t know how else to say it honestly," Rahm told a pre-tournament press conference at Harbour Town."I was not very useful in any sense and I tried to be a dad as much as possible.

We stayed one more day in Augusta and just tried to relax, had a family day and yesterday we flew here."(It was) not the celebrating some people might think I’ll be doing.

That will take part next week."It was a very demanding week, a lot going on with the weather and a lot of fighting and a lot of work mentally obviously.
