The Spaniard topped his second shot then compounded the error by hitting a tree
WATCH: Jon Rahm Tops Fairway Wood En-Route To Nightmare Double
Jon Rahm, the second-best golfer in the world, reminded us just how difficult the game is on Saturday afternoon at The Masters.
The Spaniard hit a beautiful drive up the reachable par-5 8th hole and then cold-topped his fairway wood.
Even the best golfers can be guilty of topping now and again! 😅
Jon Rahm wasn't best pleased with this effort… 😡

Unfortunately it was also hooked and he left himself with a tricky punch shot out to the green.
Things then went from bad to worse as he hit a tree and his ball bounded back into a bush.
Things are going from bad to worse for Jon Rahm… 😩
After topping his second shot, Rahm then clatters his third off a tree and into a bush! 🌳

Rahm then took a drop, found the green and two putted for a double-bogey 7.
That dropped him six behind leader Dustin Johnson – ouch.
