With rising star Jon Rahm, it’s time to believe the hype

Rahm has already validated a lot of the excitement that is following him, writes John McHenry.

Time, they say waits for no one, but memories like those we most regularly witness at Augusta National for The Masters, can last a lifetime.

As we return this week to Augusta, the venue that saw Jack Nicklaus win his last major championship in 1986 and Tiger Woods his first in 1997, we are left to wonder if 2017 will be the year that Rory McIlroy secures his first “Grand Slam” of major championships or the year that yet another player, like the wonderfully talented Jon Rahm, announces himself to the world, on the biggest stage of all, just like his compatriot and idol Seve Ballesteros did way back in 1980.
