New dad Jon Rahm won't get much Masters practice and Rory McIlroy can relate

AUGUSTA, Ga. – After becoming a father over the weekend, Jon Rahm will have only one practice round before he plays in the Masters. He is planning to arrive in Augusta later Tuesday, speak to the media Wednesday morning and then play a nine- or 18-hole practice round, according to his manager.

Rory McIlroy can relate to the whirlwind.

Last August, McIlroy and his wife, Erica, welcomed their baby girl on Monday of Tour Championship week. After a few days at home, McIlroy then flew to East Lake for the season finale, arriving just a day before the opening round.
