Jon Rahm graduated with more glory than sorrow in Los Angeles

Date:

Jon Rahm changed the order of the sentence and ended this Sunday with more glory than sorrow 123 US Open within Los Angeles Country Club. He signed his best card of the tournament, 65 strokes (-5) to be in the provisional top 15. Six birdies and one bogey (he made 30 hits for the first nine) for the Basque, which left several clear opportunity on the way, although in the end he was able to finish with better feelings, especially the placement.

Unfortunately, Barrika’s reaction did not come in his eighth US Open. But he is very close to breaking into the top 10 and improving on 2022’s tied 12th place finish with what last year’s title defense achieved.

“From Mexico, I happened to be playing well, for example in the Memorial, where I missed putting a few putts, but I’m a little far to get a result and why it won’t happen tomorrow, it could be ,” he told the portal that ‘tengol .es’ on Saturday after carding a par 70 in the third round that definitely separated him from the fight for victory. “I am confident that there is a good result for tomorrow,” he added in the mixed zone. Well, said and done, although 65 is not enough to bite the ears of the leaders.

English is the star of this Sunday Tommy Fleetwood with a card of 63 strokes, seven under par, one away from the historic first day record of Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffelewith 62 hits set the lowest record in a US Open equaling the lowest in the history of the ‘majors’.

The British put on a spectacular display this Sunday: two eagles, four birdies and a bogey on the 16th hole that took him out of history. On the 18th, after an impressive second shot on the green, Fleetwood had a two-foot putt to make 62 and missed it. Bittersweet finish after a fantastic display over the previous 17 holes. He is top 5 and logical home-club leader with 275 (-5).

Sergio Garcia, in his 24th consecutive US Open, did not finish with a lap under par. He shot 70, with three birdies and three bogeys (the last on the 18th), for 282 (+2) and 36th place.

Good finish and a high note for the Catalan David Puigon his debut in the ‘majors’: 67 shots, with four birdies in a row on the second nine holes (bogey on the 18th), for 284 (+4) and position 45. Good taste in mouth without a doubt he should have left David in his first participation in a US Open.

This is the best result by a Spanish rookie at the US Open. It surpassed the two under pars made by Severiano Ballesteros in the second round in 1978, Adri Arnaus on the first day of 2019 and Alex del Rey in the first round this week. “I realized that I have more than enough distance to compete with the best and that the short game and the putter are really good. I need to refine more with the iron set to be able to fight for victories. That’s what I take with me ko”, the man from La Garriga told ‘tengol.es’.

When Jon finished his lap, the leaders, those who had to play for the title on a final day that was supposed to be exciting: Wyndham Clark, Rickie Fowler (the sentimental and favorite sports of American golf), Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Harris English, Dustin Johnson and Xander Schauffele only played a few holes. The night promised. This Sunday, June 18, is also Father’s Day in the US.
