If U.S. Ryder Cup fans woke up on Saturday hoping for a change in the wind, they didn’t get it. Team Europe won three of four morning foursomes matches to extend their lead, and a big reason for that was the play of Jon Rahm. The Spaniard played like a man en fuego, holing a truly absurd chip from a horrible lie on the eighth hole stretch his unbeaten Ryder Cup run beside teammate Tyrrell Hatton to five matches.

In fact, Rahm looked so dominant on Saturday morning, that J.J. Watt had to hop into his group chat with the reigning LIV champ to ask for a little mercy. Check it out.

Sacrificing his dignity for his nation. J.J. Watt is a true American. Unfortunately for U.S. fans, Rahm wasn’t checking his phone on the course as he and Hatton defeated Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay, 3 and 2. We’ll see who takes home the cup at weekend’s end, but one thing is certain:

Watt is never going to hear the end of this one.
