World number two Jon Rahm of Spain fired a five-under par 65 to match top-ranked Dustin Johnson for the lead at 13-under par after Friday's opening round of the US PGA Tour Championship AFP/SAM GREENWOODWASHINGTON: Spain's second-ranked Jon Rahm fired a five-under par 65 to match world number one Dustin Johnson for the lead after Friday's opening round of the US PGA Tour Championship.
Johnson, who shot 67, began on 10-under by virtue of his season points lead. Rahm was next on 8-under with third-ranked American Justin Thomas on 7-under and other rivals starting up to 10 strokes adrift in the staggered start system. "I was like, 'OK, there's a feeding coming up.' It's natural -- between shots you think of other things," McIlroy said.
"Need to hit it a little straighter," Johnson said."I didn't hit enough fairways... if you hit it in the fairways, there's not a hole you can't get after." Johnson and Rahm each birdied the 12th, 13th and par-3 15th, the world's top-ranked players bringing out the best in each other.
