Claim 1: “Jon Rahm finished in a tie for 38th place, which was his second-worst placement in his 10 years in the tournament.”
MISLEADING
One source mentions a '38th Masters finish' in the context of Rahm's troubles at 'Aronimink' (which is the site of the PGA Championship, not the Masters). This suggests the claim is conflating different tournaments or events.
