Jon Rahm woke up on Friday morning with some work to do at the PGA Championship.
After shooting a round of 73 on Thursday, the Spaniard was sitting in the 60s on the leaderboard and in danger of missing the cut at Southern Hills in Tulsa. That became an even tougher challenge when the infamous Oklahoma wind came sweeping down the plains and created a some absurd playing conditions at the start of Day 2.
Or at least it should’ve been a challenge. For Rahm (+5700 to win outright at Tipico), the gusts actually seemed to help him dial in his game. Look no further than this absolute bomb he hit off the tee at the par-four No. 1 after starting his day on the back nine.
