It's Hot or Not time again as Sportsmail's Craig Hope reveals what's been making him feel warm and what's been leaving him cold this week. 

HOT 

Jon Rahm

The Spaniard was more hot-streak than hot-head as he claimed his first major at the US Open. 

He had led in his previous tournament only to be forced to withdraw with Covid. 

But rather than a positive test proving a negative, Rahm kept a level head to go six under par in San Diego, including back-to-back birdies on 17 and 18 to take the title. 

Well played.

Denmark

Even as a neutral it would have been enjoyable enough to see a team win 4-1 in their final group match to go through. 

But no one is a neutral after the incident involving Christian Eriksen, so the sight of Denmark running riot against Russia was truly uplifting.
