Jon Rahm is among golfers who have pushed the limits of low scores on the PGA Tour in 2022 and the Spaniard expects more of the same in La Quinta, California where The American Express will be held on desert courses ripe for the taking.
"If the wind doesn't pick up, you're going to have to go out there and post a score. But we all know it, so it's almost like a green light to be aggressive," the world number one said on Wednesday. In his last start, Rahm tied the PGA Tour record for birdies in a 72-hole event with 32 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii. During the third round he equalled the course record at Kapalua with a 12-under 61.
Unfortunately for Rahm, he was out-duelled by Australian Cameron Smith who finished at 34-under nearly two decades after Ernie Els set the PGA Tour 72-hole scoring record with a 31-under performance.
