Rahm Fires Ryder Cup Warning as U.S. Cruises Through Presidents Cup.

Jon Rahm's playoff loss to world No. 398 Angel Hidalgo at the Spanish Open proves that golf is full of surprises. However, these kinds of upsets are much less common in the Presidents Cup.

In Montreal, the United States clinched their 10th consecutive Presidents Cup win over the Internationals, a result as predictable as Angel Hidalgo’s stunning playoff victory over Jon Rahm in Madrid was shocking.

Rahm, the former world No. 1, staged a thrilling comeback by birdieing the final two holes to force a playoff at his home Spanish Open. 

But in a dramatic twist, it was the little-known Hidalgo who sealed the victory with back-to-back birdies in sudden death, capturing the spirit of sporting upsets.

The underdog story was alive and well in Madrid, reminding us of golf's unpredictable magic.
