Jon Rahm, this Sunday.
Six strokes seems like an insurmountable barrier, especially if this is the distance that separates you from the number one in the world, from the FedEx Cup leader, in short, from the most fit player of the moment, Dustin Johnson. The mission seems impossible for Jon Rahm.
It did not help much that the Spaniard managed to channel his card during the third round of the Tour Championship thanks to two birdies in the last two holes. His 66 returned him down the path of low par, after the costly 74 strokes of the second day of competition. However, the effort of the Spaniard was not enough to smooth out any disadvantageous blow with respect to Dustin Johnson, that from the playoff last Sunday seeks revenge in this last tournament of the season, where the winner will take the additional bonus of the 10 million dollars.
“When you start to think about the field, the game does not flow,” admits the Spaniard about the possible explanation for the bad return on Saturday.
Between the leader and Rahm, two players appear at -14, sharing the second place, it is about Justin Thomas y Xander Schauffele They’ll be five shots behind Johnson tomorrow and with a chance of a FedEx Cup.
Despite the six shots behind, Rahm is not one of the players to give up, and he will come out on Monday with the knife between his teeth. “At least I need a 64 and that Dustin doesn’t play well, the only thing in favor is that I’m here to win and tomorrow I’ll have to be aggressive.” Regarding the strategy for the final day, the Spaniard added a very clear strategy: “hit the ball well and put as many putts as possible,” he concluded.
