Jon Rahm is all the buzz on the PGA Tour. The rookie, who last week was the world’s #1 amateur golfer, and the only one to make the cut at Oakmont, is now leading the PGA Tour’s Quicken Loans National.

And if you’ve been watching Rahm’s play at Congressional this week, you may have noticed he’s no longer playing a Titleist golf ball.
