Finally the rain stopped Royal ThroneYes, the wind was, but not as strong as the previous day and depending on the holes, it crossed and not as strong on the second nine holes. Jon Rahm He knew he needed a lot of starts to give himself the slightest chance to fight for the Jug with so many players in the match and separated by a few strokes. He started six behind leader Billy Horschel.
Three consecutive birdies at the start gave him the dream of his third major. In 1, from about five meters, in 2 and 3, from only one meter. The first holes of this Scottish link hosting the 152nd edition of the British Open They were there this Sunday to make birdies. And it is a celebration of ‘red numbers’ for everyone without exception.
The Basque’s fourth came in the 7th, also from a meter away from the flag. He missed two par 5s early on this course (the par 5, unlike other tournaments, was his Achilles heel this week) and holed the tee and the ball at Postage Stamp (the 8th, short par 3) want to keep messing up.
Rahm hit a great tee shot about four or five yards from the flag and this time the putt that would have put him at -2, just two strokes behind the leaders at the time, didn’t want to go in. This was the moment, the turning point Barrika needed to put more pressure on her rivals.
However, the final touch to his great reaction came on the 11th hole, the par 4 away from the clubhouse that runs alongside the railroad tracks. He sent his exit too far to the right, played a tentative ball, but found the first one. He had to fall with a penalty when he got stuck in the bushes. He got a bogey-5 on that par hole. But that’s where Jon Rahm’s British comeback story ends.
Everything stops from there with 18: 68 strokes, his best card of the week, for 283 (-1), in shared eighth place so far. It’s a shame because he tried but it didn’t really work. Playing the 12 par 5 at three over par ended up being a blip on the Basque’s worksheet. It can be great and in the end you have to give it a good border on the noticeable.
The performance of the Spaniards ended in Top 50 by Jorge Campillo after signing a round of par 71 for 292 (+8) and the amateur Luis Masaveu he delivered 76 for 302 (+18).
