Jon Rahm saved par from a nasty lie in the rocks at 2024 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship

Jon Rahm found himself in a difficult spot on the 12th hole at the Old Course on Friday.

But after picking away some seaweed near his ball and then hacking away at it, he managed to make an all-world par save during the second round of the 2024 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

Rahm had four bogeys elsewhere on the course but also had three birdies and an eagle for a second-round 71 to sit T-29 at 8 under.

He’ll head to the weekend six shots back of Nicolas Colsaerts and Cameron John.

The DP World Tour stop is contested over three historic courses – Carnousie and Kingsbarn Links are also in the mix – and everyone gets a shot at the Old Course at least once over the first three days.
