Bethesda, United States: The late Spanish legend Seve Ballesteros continues to influence golfers, including Spaniard Jon Rahm and American Jordan Niebrugge, who make their professional debuts Thursday at the US PGA National tournament. The newcomers received key advice from Sergio Garcia and Jose Maria Olazabal, both of whom were inspired by Ballesteros, while the five-time major winner is a role model for Rahm, the low amateur at last week’s US Open.
“I’ve really been studying Seve and how he had that charisma, that special thing to bring people closer,” Rahm said. “That’s something I look up to, something I would like to do one day.”
