Rahm’s not reached the penalty zone, but his ball is stuck on the rough-covered bank. And he’s short-sided. He whips a high lob into the sky, landing his ball on the fringe, sending it slowly rolling to six feet. Lovely soft hands. McIlroy rolls his 40-footer back on 1 to kick-in distance. And back on the tee, the outgoing USGA CEO Mike Davis is given the mic to announce the final pairing of his final tournament. Louis Oosthuizen and Mackenzie Hughes both find the fairway.
Henley’s second at 1 finds the bunker to the right of the green. McIlroy, from the sand, sends his second onto the fringe at the front. Meanwhile Rahm’s fast start looks like coming to an abrupt end, as he pulls his 6-iron at the par-three 3rd – playing much longer at 200 yards today – down the bank to the left. There’s a penalty area down there; if he hasn’t reached it, he’ll be in thick rough. Either way, not good.
