From BobWeeksTSN: Rahm battles through brutal conditions for chance at No. 1 ranking. MORE:
Jon Rahm has yet another chance to take over top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking but to do it, he’s going to have to survive another day of brutal conditions expected for the final round of the Memorial.
“I mean, honestly what I was trying to do out there was put the ball in the fairway and hit the ball on the green and go to the next hole,” admitted Rahm. “Early on we learned that the only chance to hit it close to the pin was going to be having a wedge shot into the wind.” It won’t get any easier on Sunday. Added to the already hard course will be winds expected to gust up to 35 kilometers an hour.
Rahm would be the second Spaniard to reach top spot after Seve Ballesteros, and the third fastest to accomplish the feat. “Overall I felt like I played well today, controlled the ball well,” he said. “I hit one really bad shot there at 3, but other than that, it was a pretty good, solid day.” "I was moving better today and felt like I did the first day, and consequently I could make the passes at the golf ball like I did the first day," Woods stated."Unfortunately I didn't make any putts today, so hopefully I can make a few more tomorrow."
