Rahm supports British Open conduct policy, raises slow play concerns
Summary

Jon Rahm expressed approval for the new player conduct policy being implemented at the British Open, noting it aligns with existing golfing regulations. He highlighted that while guidelines are established, enforcement varies by tournament, questioning the focus on misconduct over addressing slow play. Rahm suggested that first-time offenders should receive warnings rather than immediate penalties. His comments come as the golf world continues to assess the implications of the code of conduct introduced across all four major tournaments. Felicitations are also directed at Rory McIlroy, who awaits a potential knighthood recognition.
