A back-nine eagle gets Jon Rahm started on a late surge that carries him back toward contention after Day 2 at the Farmers Insurance Open
Jon Rahm bagged his first tour victory at Torrey Pines. He won a major here. Including the 2021 U.S. Open, Rahm’s treks up and down the North and South courses accounts for $5.25 million of his $39.6 million career earnings.
“I knew that’s probably on any given day the most scorable part of the golf course,” Rahm said after his back-nine surge on Thursday carried him to within eight shots of the lead. “Holes 5 through 9, with or without wind, is where you can take advantage of the course.”Even through his first 13 holes, Rahm shaved five strokes off his score beginning with an eagle on 5 that moved him from tied for 79and perhaps a short stay in San Diego to firmly in the weekend field.
A birdie-birdie start moved Rahm under par for the tournament, but he gave a stroke back with a bogey on the par-3 12As he reflected on the run that carried him back onto the fringe of contention, Rahm recalled the 6-iron he pulled out of his bag for his second shot on 5, 191 yards from the flag.
