Jon Rahm: Not missing birth of first child, not even for Masters

Rahm's wife, Kelley, is due with the couple's first child, a boy, sometime between mid-March and early April. Of course, that means that Rahm could potentially miss – or have to withdraw – from the year's first major at Augusta National, something he's already prepared for.

"Before anybody asks, yes, if I'm at Augusta and I'm playing well and she starts getting – you know, starts, I'm flying back," Rahm said Wednesday at TPC Scottsdale.
