[Sport]Jon Rahm regains his strength but does not complete the comeback operation

[SougarLord]

Jon Rahm recovered the solidity that he had missed so much in recent weeks to sign a good third day that he approached with the aim of coming back and was left halfway. An almost perfect first half of the course gave way to another something worse to sign a card of 68 strokes that leave him with -3, somewhat far from the head but with the option of recovering the world title. To do this, they must be among the top 23 unless there are two or more players in position 23. When he finished his tour he was 22nd.He had climbed nine positions in the day ..

 

It was on the 10th hole when the Basque, who was riding a rocket, stopped. It is the easiest hole at TPC Harding Park, if there is any easy one.

 

                                        

 

A par five in which Jon hit the green with the second shot. He lacked strength for the eagle and skill for the birdie.

Saved the pair. Until then, Rahm, a rhythm player, had a spectacular run, with 32 strokes in the first nine holes, four under par. Without losing the opportunity to cut back, consolidating a comeback that started with a birdie in the first hole, something that he repeated with remarkable regularity, every three holes (in the fourth and in the seventh), Rahm was tenacious in his mission. He had to take another step in the 10th, but ...

 

Rahm had regained consistency and that is something that has been worrying him in recent weeks, except for the magical Memorial weekend that raised him to first place in the world. The day was going without fail until a bogey on 12 confirmed that 10 had not yet digested. He saved the mortal 13 (where Tiger, for example, made two bogeys on Friday and Saturday) and in 14 the urgencies for scratching birdies had already begun because the leaders had started their games and were still adding.Rahm did not miss, but he did not hit too much.

 

 Three consecutive pairs (13, 14 and 15) gave rise to think that the 16 would be the take-off. He added another pair that angered him. In 17 he continued with the same plan. Nor did the 18th take away the flavor of a lost occasion. Robust, but not very bright.
