Jon Rahm certified this Sunday in the Genesis Invitational of The Angels its second top5 of the season on the PGA Tour. Barrika’s player finished fifth, tied with Viktor Hovland and with Matthew Fitzpatrick, in a tournament that was awarded
Max Homa. In October he finished second in the Zozo Championship and accumulates five top-10s in the last six tournaments you have disputed.
In a day in which several players finished the third round, the end of which was suspended by the wind on Saturday, Jon was successful in the fourth. With 277 total hits, Rahm beat him seven to the field at the end of the tournament to stay five of the -12 signed by Homa and a Tony Finau that yielded in the playoff. Rahm did it after signing his best lap of the weekend, with five strokes won on the road after seven birdies and two bogeys.
Rahm knew that needed a great performance to finish in the front positions and went out for her. Five birdies in the first six holes They were his declaration of intent, awaiting a ruling from the leaders that finally did not come to dream of something else. TO great level with irons, Rahm has generated continuous birdie options to finish off the best.
The Basque took advantage of the par five that the first hole of the course offered him, with a great second shot that went by little of the green and a magnificent approach which gave him the birdie. Thrown from the beginning, after a long putt for birdie not converted on the second hole, the hit from the fairway gave him the birdie again given in par four of 3. Rahm continued adding positive news with a great chip off the green for birdie on the 4 and a better drive on par three of the 6 that later turned into another shot won.
With -4 after six holes, his inertia, however, slowed down soon after. First, with an unconverted long birdie putt on the 7th hole and, above all, with a notable failure on the par putt on the 8th hole. Rahm reacted with birdies in the 9 and in the 11Although it was the affordable unconverted birdie putts on holes 10, 12 and 13 that took a toll on his morale. I paid it with clear putting errors on holes 14 (bogey), 15 and 16 (par in these) before taking advantage of the par five of 17 to achieve his last birdie of the day.
Of course, with multiple opportunities in a day of great consistency in the game, Rahm signed a remarkable fifth place that makes it rise to the thirteenth position of the FedEx Cup. With a great regularity of results in recent weeks, Barrika’s will face this week the first world of 2021, also the first of the season after the cancellation of the HSBC of November. It’s about a Workday Championship That will be played in Florida after the restrictions due to the pandemic have forced not to organize an event in Mexico, as usual.
