Jon Rahm still holds special memories from his last time at the venue for the upcoming golf tournament at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris after a tense finale with Tiger Woods.

Rahm played in his first Ryder Cup for Team Europe back in 2018, which was held at Le Golf National, and his performance lifted the team towards a comprehensive victory.

The Spaniard played a key role in helping Thomas Bjorn's side secure a 7.5-point victory over Team USA by 7.5 points.

Rahm went out there with a point to prove, having lost his first two matches before coming up against 15-time Major winner Woods, and came out on top against the golf icon with a 2&1 scoreline in the Sunday singles.

But the tense moment came at the 17th par-4, where Rahm held his nerve to sink a four-foot putt and celebrated wildly after beating Woods.

Six years later, the 29-year-old can still fondly reflect one the moment as one the best of his career - but the former world No 1 admitted that he had 'overreacted' in celebrating the putt.

"It ranks very high," Rahm told reporters at JCB Golf & Country Club. "It was my first ever Ryder Cup point, so it ranks very high.

"[I] didn't have my best week, and I got carried by [Justin] Rosey on the first match and we lost on 18 and [Ian] Poulter kind of carried me in the second one.

"We lost to a great [Jordan] Spieth/Justin Thomas duo, and to win my first Ryder Cup point on Sunday against Tiger, it's quite unique. So yeah, it's going to be very high up there.

"I would always say it's the biggest overreaction to a four-footer I've ever seen, but it's still what I felt in that moment."

The men's Olympic golf tournament will be played across August 1-4 at the French club, which is located at Guyancourt, southwest of Paris.

Rahm will be representing Spain, but he gave a cagey response to how it would feel to win an Olympic medal.

"I don't know," he added. "It's a hard question to answer because there's been things in my life that I thought were going to have a different impact personally that after accomplishing them luckily I felt more or less than I thought.

"If I can end up with the win on Sunday next week, you can ask me the same question and I'll be able to tell you."
