He certainly made a splash in his first Players in 2018 when he shot 14-under. Notable: The past PGA champion was right there with the leaders in the final round last year, one shot off the lead after a marvelous stretch in which he birdied six of eight holes between Nos. He matched that in the final round in 2016. Morikawa flashed with a 66 in the final round in 2021 but missed the cut last year. Burns was in the next-to-last group with winner Cameron Smith and Paul Casey last year and quickly faded by playing his first eight holes at 3-over. McIlroy missed his first three cuts, rattled off three top-10s in a row, then has gone missed cut, victory, missed cut, tie for 33rd in his last four starts. Notable: As a rookie in 2016 he had a 65 in the third round of The Players. He shot 66-68 to start the 2018 Players but got buried, along with everyone else, under Webb Simpson’s barrage of birdies and Cantlay hasn’t made the cut since. But there isn’t a club in the bag he can’t hit and has won all five of his PGA Tour titles in the last 12 months. Homa has won seven times and has two victories in each of his last two seasons. Notable: Until a second-round 76 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Rahm was on a Tiger Woods-like run. Notable: Homa has won twice this season and finished third or better in three of his first four starts, providing the most formidable competition for Rahm.

Says here we see him rising up to the challenge. 1, and should he read this he’ll likely be as incredulous as he is when missing a putt outside 30 feet. If you’re a little kid that can only go on Sunday and Tiger Woods is in the event, you can go watch him. Finished T-2 in his Players debut in 2018 and entered Bay Hill sixth in strokes gained. A little worried about placing Fitzpatrick this high as he’s coming back from a neck injury. There's a chance Tommy Lad earns win No. Slow start to the season for Young (although he did finish second at the Saudi International in early February). I know the Presidents Cup doesn’t like to be viewed as prep or experimental ground for the Ryder Cup, but the whole point (allegedly) of the task force was to create symmetry between the two events. The Englishman has two top-10s at TPC Sawgrass and opened with a 66 last year before fading. The key for the Canadian will be avoiding a slow start, something that has plagued him this season (136th in Round 1 scoring). … Detry had a great fall (four top-15s, with a runner-up in Bermuda) and has been steady in the early going of 2023. Suh, the reigning Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year (above), had an inauspicious start following his promotion but has shown signs of life as of late, highlighted by a T-5 at the Honda Classic.

With so much cash sloshing around in the world of professional golf, Jon Rahm must be wondering what on earth all the fuss is about.
Be part of the action with a selection of unique golf tournament experiences, from playing in a pro-am with the stars to watching the action at golf’s most illustrious events. And if McIlroy can finally win The Masters at Augusta in April he will not care if Rahm is still on top of the rankings because he will finally have completed the career Grand Slam. I've known him since college and he's been like this since then, number one amateur in the world, number one player in the world, all the accolades. But the reality is that the competition today is far stronger than it was when Ballesteros was in his prime. However, he is finally beginning to take it all in his stride, although his unbelievable form makes that easier to achieve. "Obviously when you're playing good it's really fun and when you're winning tournaments, extremely fun, but you've got to enjoy the tough moments as well." After winning in Dubai at the end of the DP World Tour season he quite rightly complained long and loud about the fact that his world ranking was stuck at five. He has rediscovered his touch on the greens now - and how. With his victory at the Genesis Invitational, the Spaniard took his prize money to $10m in the middle of February, and also reclaimed the top spot in the world rankings. And he will be heading to Augusta in good heart after finishing runner-up to Scheffler last year thanks to a sensational final round of 64. [Comments](https://www.golfshake.com/news/view/18742/What_Makes_Jon_Rahm_The_Most_Impressive_of_Golfers.html#disqus_thread) He is now in his rightful place, looking down at the rest.

He visited spots on the Bay Hill course that limited his options on many holes, and on the ones he did hit the fairway he forgave a good handful of putts.
After a first day in which he again proved to be touched by a wand, today the Basque succumbed to the harshness of Bay Hill. He bogeyed to 5 after another mistake at the start, and double bogeyed to 6 after visiting the water for the second time that day (also after hitting the driver). The best news for Rahm is that the irons are still working, and thanks to this he got his first birdie of the day at 14. Very few golfers are capable of it, and it suggests that, if Rahm is able to solve these problems (in this Arnold Palmer is 112th in the statistics of shots gained from the tee), he can be unbeatable. It was a relief for Rahm to start in the morning shift (he left before 8:00 local time), since the wind had not yet kicked in. Jon's worst lap so far this year (he only added two laps over par) leaves the Spaniard with a total of -3, six shots behind a Kurt Kitayama who is the provisional leader (-9) to go the end of the day on Friday.

Golf does not stop spinning. Off the field, in that eternal fight between the American circuit and the Saudi League whose last battle has been the.
Rahm left his letter of introduction with three birdies followed in the first three holes of the week and closed that first round with eagle birdie and birdie in the last three. What for the rest is normal, a couple of laps over par, a bad week, a ranking far from the head, number one in the world is the exception. The fight was of many carats in the last day of a championship of many emotions and without deciding until the last hole. The Basque had won five of the last nine tournaments he had played, and finished fourth, eighth, seventh and third in the other four. For the first time in many weeks, Rahm was not in contention for the win on a Sunday. The Basque was allowed to maintain that privileged place by the victory of the American Kurt Kitayama, who at the age of 30 sang his first bingo at the PGA and entered a checkbook of 3.6 million dollars.
Following his first-round 65 last Thursday, it appeared as though Jon Rahm might never lose a golf tournament again. You had to wonder, how low could the ...
