For a long time on Friday, it looked as if Jon Rahm's hot streak was over.
Jon Rahm, of Spain, acknowledges the crowd after chipping in for a birdie on the 11th hole of the North Course at Torrey Pines during the second round of the Farmers Insurance Open golf tournament, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023, in San Diego. For a long time on Friday, it looked as if Jon Rahm’s hot streak was over.
Rahm posted a 5-under 67 in the second round, a huge upgrade after his 1-over 73 on Wednesday. He closed out his day going five-under in his final five holes, too, which resulted in a more than 100-spot jump up the leaderboard at the time. Rahm went 1-over in his opening round on the South Course on Wednesday, and made a double bogey on the seventh hole after hitting his hole into a native area and having to take a penalty. That, paired with two bogeys on his back nine, left him nine shots back of the leaders after the first round.
Rahm started better on Thursday on the North Course. He made back-to-back birdies, including a chip-in birdie on the par-4 11th, to get to 2-under almost instantly.
