The presentation of Jon Rahm as ‘green jacket’ in RBC Heritage on Hilton Head Islandone of the designated tournaments on the PGA Tour, lasted less than six holes in its first round. A storm this Thursday before 9:00 pm Spanish peninsular time He put a point and followed the first round of the Spanish player.

rahmthat he had a committed putt to save par on the par four of the 6th hole, he was at -1 at break time, sharing twenty nine square and with Victor Hovland as a leader. The Norwegian, already at his home-club, managed to finish his first round with seven birdies without a miss for a -7.

The Augusta Masters champion, for his part, is struggling to try to get close to that marker. Rahm signed off with a birdie and four pars in your first game, even I had problems with hole 6. He hit a long birdie putt on hole 1 (par four) and a bad second shot on hole 2 (par five) kept him from fighting for shots. After leaving the exit to the left, in the dry leaves along the fairway, he was barely able to make progress on it and, after going over the green, he had to save par.

He also left a long putt on hole 3 (par four) in search of birdie, so he saved the par and waited for it to get to hole 4, a par three where he did well to start off a few meters. to win a blow. He had a chance to win another on the par five of the 5th hole, but he missed a clear birdie putt to sign for par.

Rahm starts hole 6, a par four, into the bunker. It was gone from the green and it meant he had to save a putt from medium distance for par on the restart. He doesn’t look comfortable in his first steps for the tournament, but there is still a long way to go.
