World No. 1 Jon Rahm looks to take page out of Tiger Wood's book as he eyes more success on PGA Tour

World No.1 Jon Rahm is adamant nobody can beat him when he is on top form but that he does not have to be at his best to win — and pointed to a valuable lesson from Tiger Woods. Rahm enters this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational on the PGA Tour on an enviable run of form that has seen him claim five wins in his last nine starts worldwide. Ad The last of those came just two weeks ago at The Genesis Invitational that also saw him return to top spot in the Official World Golf Rankings.

However, the Spaniard has warned his rivals that he can still get the job done without his perfect game.

I asked him, Out of the 82 wins on the PGA Tour, I didn't get into the other ones, how many times do you think you played your best all four days? “And he said, Three at most…A lot of those Sundays he played his best, but the whole week, very few.” Pressed on whether Woods was forthcoming as to where he felt he produced his complete game, Rahm revealed it was his epic nine-win season back at the turn of the century. “Well, 2000 U.S. Open, 2000 Open Championship, and I think you can pick any other 2000 win,” said Rahm.

“Those two, I kind of brought up and he said he agreed to those two. I don't know about the other one.” Woods won his first U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in 2000 by a record-setting 15 strokes but had to settle for an eight-shot victory at the Open Championship at St Andrews later the same year.
