Q. Talk about things you want to improve, the things that didn't really work this week.
JON RAHM: I kind of went out there to try some things to see how it felt. Irons felt better, and off the tee felt good, to be honest. It felt pretty good. Just a couple of bad swings in there. There's a lot of things that contributed to me not having my best week, and one of them I think was obviously on the greens, which is not easy. Never really had the pace of the greens, and a couple too many three-putts. That's the easiest way to fix it, but that's, I think, very subjective to this golf course and the conditions we're playing on.
Q. Maybe the more positive things is describing what it meant to come here as a defending champion, everything that happened?
JON RAHM: Well, it's harder to talk about it when I've played this bad. It's been nice to have some receptions walking up to some tees no matter what my score was and seeing the appreciation. But when you don't have your best week, it's not that -- it's hard to have to stay now to put the jacket on somebody else and never really ever have a chance.
