LOS ANGELES — It shouldn't be much of a surprise that Jon Rahm flew ahead of the pack on Saturday at Riviera Country Club.
“The only thing I was worried about was getting that ball to the hole,” Rahm said of his final putt. “I've hit that putt a million times, I've seen that putt hit a million times and we all leave it just a couple rolls short, so I just wanted to get it there.
If Rahm pulls off the win, it will mark his third of the season following victories at the Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express. Barring some sort of major stumble, Rahm should at least notch his seventh top-10 finish in as many tries. He’s currently projected to retake the No. 1 ranking in the world, too, something he hasn’t held in nearly a year.Can anyone catch Jon Rahm?Not only is he closest to him on the leaderboard, but Homa’s won at Riviera before.
“Yeah, I relish it. It's exciting. It's an opportunity, and I think in this life it's just about opportunities, getting them and then when you have them, take advantage. So I'm excited to test myself with that.”
