Jon Rahm had a simple plan for playing Vidanta Golf Course in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico — hit driver everywhere.
“If it doesn’t fit,” he said, “we’ll figure it out.”
Rahm found the generous fairways fit his trademark fade just fine in the opening round of the Mexico Open, finding the short grass on 12 of 13 holes on his way to shooting a bogey-free 7-under 64 and grabbing a share of the lead at the PGA Tour’s newest event on the schedule.
