GOLF El peor Rahm conserva el uno
El golf de Jon Rahm sufrió una implosión en el hoyo 4 del TPC Sawgrass de Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida). 54 hoyos para llegar a seis golpes del líder, el indio Lahiri, con 18 por jugar. Todo era posible para el número uno del ranking mundial. El birdie en el 2 elevaba la ilusión que volvía a reducirse con un bogey en el 3… y llegó el fatídico 4 que cerró con un quíntuple bogey, el peor hoyo de toda la carrera de Jon en el PGA Tour por dos golpes. El vasco de 27 años nunca había necesitado más de siete golpes para completar un hoyo, ni siquiera en un par 5. Y en 4 del quinto major hizo nueve tras irse dos veces al agua y necesitar tres putts para embocar.
