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.

Fleetwood leads, Lowry solid as weather halts Players Championship at Sawgrass

Tommy Fleetwood held a share of the early lead as the first round of The Players Championship suffered a lengthy weather delay on Thursday. The start of play at Sawgrass was delayed by an hour due to overnight rain and thunderstorms in the area, with preferred lies put in place for the first round. When play did get under way, Fleetwood started on the back nine and picked up shots on the 11th and 16th, both par fives, before chipping in for another birdie on the 18th. Fleetwood, who is without a win since 2019 and has slipped to 49th in the world rankings, also birdied the first and was facing a birdie putt from nine feet on the par-five second when play was suspended due to dangerous weather in the area at 11am local time.
