Jon Rahm let it be known that he is not a fan of drones flying overhead during broadcasts of the LIV Golf tournament.
The Spaniard criticized the distraction of drones after a terrible shot during Sunday’s round in Nashville.
After his tee shot on the sixth hole fell into the water, Rahm attributed his mishap to the drone of the drone hovering overhead.
“Every tournament,” the broadcast picked up, exclaiming Rahm. ‘It’s fucking incredible. Right in my backswing.
“These damn drones always,” he continued.

To add insult to injury, Rahm was two shots off the lead when he hit his ball into the water on the par-4 hole.
He then made double bogey, his worst finish on that hole for competitors who completed the sixth hole at The Grove. Additionally, the error put Rahm within four shots of leader Tyrrell Hatton.
Rahm followed LIV Golf’s growing path from the PGA Tour in December. The Nashville tournament was his first since he withdrew from the US Open with a foot infection.
The two-time major winner found some improvement on the next hole when he birdied to get within three of Hatton.
The broadcast captured Rahm lamenting about the drones after botching his tee shot.

Like Rahm, the Englishman also had a slight outburst during the event in Music City. Hatton’s moment came when he came up short on the putt after having a chance to make birdie on the eighth hole.
While Rahm was finding trouble with the drones, Hatton was battling the forces of nature while cursing the wind, according to NBC Sports.
‘Fuck you, wind!’ exclaimed Hatton. ‘Two in a row just screw me!’
