Jon Rahm took a step backwards in order to take two steps forward.
The No. 2-ranked golfer in the world and reigning Masters champion faced a daunting predicament on the sixth hole during the third round of the 2023 U.S. Open at the Los Angeles Country Club on Saturday.He then faced two options for his next shot — try to chip the ball over the edge of the bunker, putting enough power and air under it so that it made it out of the trap while also providing enough spin, or play the safer route.
“You hardly ever see it, the number of times a professional golfer is forced to play away from the hole,” NBC analyst Morgan Pressel said on the broadcast. “But that’s a smart play, not being too aggressive because if he would’ve gone for that hole location, he would’ve been on the other side in the fescue.”John Ram hits his shot the opposite direction of the hole on the sixth hole during the third round of the U.S. Open on June 17.
