SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The first three days of the WM Phoenix Open are as much about celebrity and charity as they are golf. Jon Rahm’s foursome Wednesday in the Annexus Pro-Am was a prime example.
There was Rahm, of course, who played at Arizona State, lives in Scottsdale and is the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world.
There was Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who might have tipped everyone off that he is winning his fourth MVP award Thursday night at the NFL Honors awards show.
And there was Phoenix Small, a 14-year-old from American Fork, Utah, a new friend of Rahm’s and an ambassador of sorts for Shriners Hospitals for Children.
