NEW YORK, Aug 21 ― Top-ranked Jon Rahm, the reigning US Open champion, fired a bogey-free four-under par 67 to grab a one-stroke lead after yesterday's second round of the US PGA Northern Trust tournament.
“It's nice to be bogey-free, but it's not like it's goal number one. Might be actually first time I go 36 holes bogey-free,” Rahm said. Schauffele and three-time major winner Jordan Spieth each had six birdies, two eagles and a bogey to shoot 62s. Spieth, who shared 10th with Brooks Koepka on 134, holed an 81-yard shot from the fairway at the par-4 fifth.
“I'm leaving myself a really tough up-and-down and I was able to make good putts for par,” Rahm said. “Just accepting that I can miss shots. You get a little too greedy, miss the green, and you can have a tough up-and-down, and I've been able to save those so far.Rahm began off the 10th tee and dropped his approach to seven feet at the par-5 13th before sinking a birdie putt, then added a clutch 24-foot putt to save par at the par-4 16th.
Rahm said he doesn't like a system where you could win two playoff events but have a poor final week and finish well back.
