US Open champion Jon Rahm has revealed the circumstances behind the “very stupid” celebrations following his first major victory last month.

Rahm birdied the last two holes at Torrey Pines to become the first Spanish player to win the title, his triumph coming just 15 days after he tested positive for Covid-19 and had to withdraw from the Memorial Tournament despite holding a six-shot lead after 54 holes.
