Rahm did not fly and it was difficult to finish the No. 1 in the FedEx Cup

Another day to forget Jon Rahm on the third day of bmw championship within Olympia Fields from Illinoisabout 40 km from Chicago. return of 71 shots, for 213 (+3) All in all, there is no chance of winning this Sunday and Biscayne making it very difficult for his aspirations to achieve in Atlanta next week is the FedEx Cupthe Grand Final of the American circuit.

It’s hard for Barrika in the face of the last victory in East Lake, because now it seems possible, and even probable, that he will not reach Atlanta as Number 1 in the points list, with all that implies (remember that Number 1 in the ranking starts the Tour Championship with -10 in the box, two strokes ahead of the second, who starts with -8, three in the third…).

Rahm started the third round well with a birdie at 1, a shot he lost at the next, to win the field again at 3, another bogey at 6, and a complete stoppage in a possible reaction. The end came to the Basque with another missed shot at 10 and three putts from a meter and a half (he cleared it for birdie) after a good second shot, at 11.

He managed to turn the day around from then but when he signed for birdie at 12, he missed from too close to the flag again on 13, a par 3. And on 15, a par 5, he had to drop with a penalty and narrowly missed the score. bogey. After another birdie on 17, he closed out his performance saving par from the bunker on 18.

Jon was 37th in the first playoff at Memphis and is on track to repeat the position in this second. A projection of the results as this is now the classification would place him 4th in the FedEx at the end of this tournament. He has five rounds of competition to the death remaining on the 2023 PGA Tour where he will still be able to defend with an absolute guarantee of a great victory in the PGA Tour Final, a victory that, let’s remember, no Spanish player has in his record.
