Jon Rahm is ready to be a "little bit more selfish" this week as he targets a fourth Open de Espana title after helping Europe clinch Ryder Cup glory.
The 28-year-old Spaniard returns to Madrid's Club de Campo aiming to successfully defend his home national open once again on the back of playing an integral part in Europe's thrilling victory in Rome.
Rahm hopes to take that collective positivity into the rest of the season as he refocuses on his individual performances.
"It was an extremely fun week," Rahm, who was unbeaten as he claimed three points from four matches, told the DP World Tour website.
"I think it was the most enjoyable Ryder Cup I've had so far. I played good golf and the team ended up winning.
"It was exciting and exhilarating and, when it comes to being part of the team, it was so special.
"It is hard to explain what goes on behind closed doors, but that was about as much fun as a person as I can have because all those players, all those friends were absolutely incredible and you can feel those bonds strengthening on that same week, day by day."
Rahm added: "You have to make a conscious effort to change for the Ryder Cup, then after that it is almost reverting back to maybe being a little bit more selfish."
Despite all of the attention on him, Rahm intends to remain focused on delivering another composed display.
"There is certainly a little bit more to do off the golf course this week, so you need to compartmentalise really well and manage your time very well running around Madrid - it is a city and there is a lot going on," said Rahm, whose first Open de Espana title came in 2018.
"I have just got to try to split my time as best I can, but still be selfish because I need my own time to be able to perform."
Rahm will again look for inspiration from the late Seve Ballesteros, to whom he dedicated his Masters triumph in April, as he aims to make the most of home advantage in Madrid.
Ballesteros - who died in 2011 aged 54 following a long battle with cancer after having been diagnosed with a brain tumour - was a three-time winner of his home open, the last in 1995 which marked his 50th title on the then European Tour.
Rahm would be honoured to take that legacy forwards again.
"I am assuming I am going to hear his (Ballesteros') name a few times this week," Rahm said.
"It would be a true honour. I want to surpass him, but in a weird sense, with the great Seve, it's an odd feeling to think that I might be ahead of him in any category, but at the end of the day, it is what we strive for.
"Any time my name is anywhere remotely closely related to any of the great Spanish players, it's absolutely amazing.
"I keep thinking of that little kid back in Barrica growing up, learning how to play golf and thinking maybe some day to be living those days. It is very special.
"Seve is a great hero of mine and to do something he took his whole career to do in just a few years is quite humbling."
Rahm, who won by six shots last year, added: "It's always incredible to play in front of your home crowd and I'm excited to defend my title at Club de Campo."
