In bad times they say good, and that’s what they did Jon Rahm when he appeared in the mixed zone to study the day and after signing his card 72 strokes in third day of British Open in Royal Throne which, given what we’ve seen, it’s still good and all.
“I didn’t think the day would be this difficult because of the rain and the wind. I minimized my mistakes too much, I played well, but I wasn’t under par in the first seven holes, I was punished by a bogey on hole 2. the 9 that iron in my hand second shot…, and not making birdie on the 4th,” lamented the Basque.
“I hit good shots on the return holes, which were very hard and complicated. If I finish six shots behind the leader, there are options if I have a good round on Sunday,” Jon highlighted.
“It’s a complicated course, the second nine holes are very difficult,” Rahm repeated, “all I have to do is take advantage of the first seven holes, that’s what I lacked, if I was able to make a couple of putts, I try to live,” he added.
The one from Barrika considered that “plus one is not a bad result, from holes 11 to 18, what a course with rain and wind!” “The water and the wind meant that in the last few holes the ball wasn’t going anywhere, with the wind against us playing it was complicated,” he highlighted.
Rahm acknowledged that “I also had a little bit of luck, on 13, 16, but the ‘tie’ of 12 (bogey) was tough, it’s hard to win tournaments if you don’t make putts, let’s see if the dynamics change tomorrow. They’re the holes that are hard to leave close, I’ve never done anything, and on top of that on the 18th (par 4) I blew it (the ball) and I almost missed the fairway.
Jon summed up that you have to have “a lot of patience, dry hands and clubs and there’s always someone going to make birdies but with pars and shooting forward, and patience, there are options. Let’s see how they end up, who knows , over six shots…that difference has not been recovered, and there are also many players ahead who will also do ‘a little’, but it is possible…”, he concluded, referring to the chances of winning here. Sunday which is also expected to be Saturday.
