World number six Jon Rahm believes it would be “incredible” if he could win a third Spanish Open title to match the tally of the late Seve Ballesteros.<\/p>\n

Ballesteros won his national open in 1981, 1985 and 1995 and Rahm is a prohibitive 9\/4 favourite to emulate his compatriot this week at Club de Campo in Madrid, where he successfully defended the title in 2019.<\/p>\n

Rahm has expressed concerns about plans for the PGA Tour’s best players to face each other at least 20 times a year, but the former US Open champion has pledged to continue to support Spanish events on the DP World Tour.<\/p>\n
