MADRID -- With his "batteries charged" again after an exhausting Ryder Cup week, Jon Rahm is back home to try to surpass idol Seve Ballesteros with a fourth Spanish Open title.
Rahm matched Ballesteros' three titles by winning in Madrid last year, and he arrives as the favorite again this week following a successful -- yet emotionally grueling -- appearance at the Ryder Cup.
"The Ryder Cup week is different than any other. I was more mentally exhausted than I've ever been in any other Sunday that I've played," said Rahm, who won three points to help Europe defeat the United States at Marco Simone in Italy two weeks ago.
