National Open Champion Jon Rahm had a strange moment in the first round of this year’s third major tournament.
Ram was on the 18th hole on Thursday and a tee shot came out to the left and hit a broadcast tent. He said he saw two children steal a golf ball after a false shot.

“I’m sure I know who it is. I noticed two kids running in opposite directions with a smile on their faces. I stole it. I’m 100% sure I’ve seen my child, “Ram said. Via PGA Tour.com.. “I’m really happy that someone first found the ball.”
Ram somehow recovered 1 under 69, three strokes behind the leader of the first day, Adam Hadwin. He had four birdies and three bogies when he wrapped the round.

“I feel like I played pretty good golf all day. I just saw a lot of (putts) approaching and not coming in, and why not hit two selfish drives in the last two holes. It ends with two birdie putts, the last one to beat the par in the first round of the US Open, which is a big deal. “
I didn’t know exactly where the wind came from and I didn’t spend 100% of my time on shots, so many of them were a bit undecided and questionable … but I’m not worried. “
