OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Most weeks on the PGA Tour, Jon Rahm is on autopilot – airport, hotel, course, and not much else in between. This week in the Baltimore area, which is hosting its first Tour event in nearly 60 years, is no different.

The Olympic swimming legend and Baltimore native has developed a friendship with Rahm over the years.
“He's a great guy,” Rahm said. “He's gone through a lot, and as an athlete he's somebody to look up to very easily.
