This is not the US Open of Jon Rahm, 28 years old and world number 2. It was a survival Grand Slam for Barrika’s at The Los Angeles Country Club. He did a lot to salvage his participation on Friday, saving the cut by one stroke to his +2 overall.
The same result he maintained after the third round. Even the comfort of having the weekend helped the Spanish golfer on the way, who Saturday improved on Friday’s painful 73, not the opening day’s 69. He stayed at a par 70, the par for the field, for that global +2 that should take him out of the top-50 overall.
This seemed to be vasco’s redemption when he bogeyed the par 5s of holes 1 and 8, but it gradually deflated. Bogey on the par 4 of 12. Finally, bogey on the par 4 of 18, the last, which choked
He went into the clubhouse in a tentative 51st place, down from 49th the day before. A test for an aspirant at all.
The Masters champion has gone downhill since then Augusta: 15th at RBC Heritage, 2nd at Mexico Open, 50th at PGA Championship, 16th at Memorial.
Although for Rahm the reaction is part of his roadmap. Champion this season in four tournaments, eight top-10s in fourteen PGA events, the demand is so great that not seeing himself at the top means disappointment for himself.
