Rickie Fowler remains in the lead after the second day of the US Open, this time unaccompanied, played at the Los Angeles Country Club. With a total of -10, the American once again chipped away at the field and leads Wyndham Clark by one stroke and Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele by two.
It’s been a long day for Jon Rahm. The man from Barrika barely saved the pair after suffering badly in the latter part of a very irregular lap for him. With an overall +2 he is forty-ninth, tied with David Puig and one shot from a Sergio García sharing thirty-ninth place. Alejandro del Rey (+7 after birdie, eight bogeys and double-bogey) and Pablo Larrazábal (+8 after saying goodbye to two birdies, five bogeys and two double-bogeys) are out of the match.
Fowler, who teed off with a -8 on the opening day, showed ease again in the second round to add birdies (eight), but he endured a wildly erratic day that prevented him from rocketing to the top. of the table (six bogeys). . In a continuous roller coaster, in which despite everything he dominated with a total balance of -2, Fowler generally felt comfortable in the long game, but he paid dearly for his mistakes and allowed the classification to be more. compressed .
Wyndham Clark is second with -9 after four birdies and a bogey. It was a very solid day for the American to continue the good feelings he showed on the opening day. There were times when he didn’t find good positions in the middle of the fairway, but even so he hit the greens well enough to create several opportunities where he took four to stay in the match.
A match in which Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele are still fully involved. The Northern Irishman flew between holes 1 and 9 with six birdies, marred only by one bogey. His performance between holes 10 and 18, with one birdie and three bogeys, is what prevented him from being further up the table. Despite this, he accumulated a -8 that saw him share third place with Xander Schauffele who was unable to beat him on the course after some very difficult holes from 13 to 15, with three consecutive bogeys reducing blow from a round completed. along with another bogey and four birdies.
A few favorites are also hidden. Harris English closed out the top5 with -7 after a great round of five birdies and a bogey, some front positions closely guarded by some important men. Dustin Johnson is tied for sixth at -6 after a fatal quadruple bogey on the par-4 hole 2 erased his five birdies and one bogey. Scottie Scheffler is tied for eighth at -5 after four birdies and two bogeys. Bryson DeChambeau was nineteenth (-1), Brooks Koepka and Collin Morikawa were thirty-nine (even) and Matthew Fitzpatrick and Hideki Matsuyama were thirty-nine (+1).
Sergio García, Jon Rahm and David Puig, away
The Spaniards suffered a lot to save a cut established with +2. This is the result followed by Jon Rahm and David Puig, forty-nine, while Sergio García surpassed them by one stroke and thirty-nine.
Jon Rahm started his second round with a sensational chip from off the green to eagle the par-five hole 1. However, a round that started in the best possible way soon went wrong and was accompanied by of six bogeys for just one birdie.
Deviating the putt all day, Rahm saw how the first bogey (hole 4) didn’t last long. He made a feint in response to a surprising second shot on the par four of 6 that left him with a putt for birdie, but he was again condemned by mistakes: trip on the 7th hole (par three), bunker and missed birdie putt on the 8th hole (par five) and bad position on the green until another four bogeys came. They went on the 11th hole (par three) after going over the green, on the 12th (par four) after entering the bunker and, suffering the rest of the holes, with a painful closing for their interests on the par four of the 17th (bunker). and clear putt for the wrong par) and the par four of 18, where he fell in the long game.
