Jon Rahm finished the second day of the PGA Championship happy, very satisfied with his performance, although he did not hide that his result could have been excellent and it only remained good: “The whole day I have been around a spin.
I have played golf very well. Already in the first four holes I missed a couple of shots. A pity, it was a day in which I played very well and I gave myself many opportunities. Two fewer today taste very good, but it could have been better”.
Jon Rahm, statements
‘Rahmbo’ recalled the putts about to go in, of which in fact he usually puts, that he left along the way: “If I’m picky, the 1, 3, 6 that has remained hanging in the hole, the 8, 10, 12, 17 and 18. I wasn’t going to put them all in, but a couple would have changed the dynamics of the day.
The first round I couldn’t change the dynamics either and this makes the difference between being where I am, at +4, or put yourself around par. Because if you’re at par on the course you’re still in the tournament.” Jon also acknowledged: “It was the bogey of 12 that made me start to putt more aggressively and I made them.
In the end you have to respect the course and assume that the pars are good.” Finally, the player from Biscay left a door ajar to at least be part of a busy Sunday in which to fish in a troubled river: “If I’m even at the end of Saturday I can give the leaders a scare.
If they arrive in – 5 or -6 and on Sunday and you do a round of 66, it’s possible. I’m at nine and still, but there’s a lot of golf left.” The PGA Championship is an annual golf tournament organized by the American PGA as part of the PGA Tour, although it is also part of the European Tour.
This championship is one of the so-called majors in golf, and it is the second of the majors that are played every year, now in the month of May (before it was played in August but after this change there is a major every month from April to July ).
The budget for prizes in the 2006 edition amounted to 6.8 million dollars (5.3 million euros, approximately). Since 1991, the tournament has been broadcast in the United States by the CBS television network.
