Jon Rahm is back in the dispute in an important championship. Hi, he joked that he would have had an even better chance to win the third of his career if the spectator who hit the head with a wandering approach shot in the PGA championship in the Saturday section a little better soccer player.
Rahm fired a 4 bass 67 to reach 6 under torque 207 for the tournament, leaving him five shots behind the leader Scottie Scheffler, who played the last five holes in 5 under to reach 11 below.
Rahm won the US Open in 2021 and the Masters in 2023.
In the four specialties since then, it has not finished within eight shots of leadership.
“I mean, it is difficult to express how hungry I can be for a specialty, as hungry as anyone can be in this feeling,” said the Spanish star. “Very happy to be in position again. I don’t know where I will be … but that is a great position. This golf course is complicated and a shot is nothing in 18 holes.”
A shot was something not. 11.
Rahm’s approach fired 4 sailed to the left and his ball hit a fan in the head, sending him to the side of the Green and to the other side on the other side. Rahm left his chip and touched two putts for one of his two bogeys in the day.
The fan was not injured.
When he approached the green, Rahm approached to verify his anyway. They shared some laughs, signed a golf glove for him and hugged before continuing with his round.
“I told him that if he was European and grew up playing football, and just pointed a little better, maybe just bring him closer to the hole,” Rahm said with a smile.
Rahm knows that it will not be easy to catch Scheffler.
Still, he likes how he is hitting the ball.
“Very happy with the state of my game,” Rahm said. “I think today was the round I knew I was able to.
