The Spanish golfer is presented with victory options after signing a record route with 61 strokes, 10 below the field pair
“Never under the arms”, sentenced Jon Rahm, after the formidable second round of the WGC Mexico Championship. Jon had finished Friday with a cumulative -1, 10 strokes behind the American Bryson Dechambeau. Perhaps his second nine holes on Friday (the first lap of the Chapultepec field) were the necessary turning point. 'Rahmbo' was lost with a result of +3, when he reacted by achieving -5 in his final nine holes, thus making up his card. Still, a world separated him from the head of the tournament.
Started a new day, a day of Saturday with shining sun and thousands of Mexicans wanting golf and entertainment. Birdie one, two, three and another in hole four. A pair in the five to gain momentum and subtract blows in holes six and seven. Barrika's was flying, a partial of -7 in just eight holes, just at the moment when leaders jumped into the field. The return seemed to cool with the three putts and the bogey of hole 8 and the pair of 9. But still the best will remain.
The 10th hole returned him to the path of the birdie, and a gigantic 13-meter putt in the thirteen raised the public. An easier birdie in par 5 hole 15 and the Spanish was planted in hole 17 with a partial of -8, the leaders at that time were traveling in -13. The 17 is the emblem hole of Chapultepec, a three-pair of 175 meters. After landing his second boat three meters from the hole, he made it into the same hole. Hole in one. Rahm raised his arms, threw the stick and hugged himself with his caddy Adam Hayes.
The world championship became a Mexican party for a few moments. He could not achieve the last birdie in 18. His card of -10, 61 strokes, is the new record of the field and ties the lowest record in the history of the championships. And what is more important: he leaves another Sunday with victory options and, perhaps, with the permission of Rory McIlroy, to reach number one in the world.
