Jon Rahm went all season without winning since his defection to Saudi-backed LIV Golf. Now the Spaniard is in a position for two in a row. Rahm finished eagle-birdie-birdie for a 62 at LIV Golf Greenbrier. That gives him a two-shot lead over Brooks Koepka and three other players. Rahm also won the LIV event in the UK right before the Olympics.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va. — Jon Rahm finished eagle-birdie-birdie for an 8-under 62 on Saturday, giving the Spaniard a two-shot lead over Brooks Koepka and three others in LIV Golf Greenbrier.
Rahm, coming off an Olympic disappointment when he went from a four-shot lead to not even getting to the podium, was at 14-under 126. Rahm started on the second hole in the shotgun start. He made eagle on the par-5 17th, birdied the 18th and then birdied the first hole to take command. Rahm will be going for his second straight LIV Golf title on Sunday after going all season without one.
