Jon Rahm’s viral outburst on Thursday suggests the golfer can’t control his temper.

In fact, this is only partially true. As Rahm himself has said, the episodes in which he appears to be losing it are also his way of staying calm. Confused? Here’s how Rahm explained it back in 2017.

"Just imagine a Coca-Cola bottle,” Rahm said of trying to hold back his rage. “You shake it once. You shake it again. Once you open it, it's a complete mess. That's what happens when I try to keep it down. I'm going to miss a shot that's not that bad and I'm going to lose it. Sometimes I need to get mad."
