Jon Rahm, results

Rahm arrives at the tournament after three weeks of disconnection after the British Open in Saint Andrews and after the birth of his second child. He does it as number 6 in the world. The Basque had not been out of the world top 5 since September 14, 2019. In this period, Jon has been number one for 43 weeks and has won a major, the 2021 US Open.

Barrika's has the lowest stroke average in FedEx Playoff history (a minimum of 20 rounds) with an average of 68.14. He also has 4 top 10 finishes in five appearances in the first event of the Playoffs, including three third places in 2017, 2019 and 2021.

Jon has delayed his trip to Memphis a little longer than usual because last Friday the 5th he was the father of his second child. Little Eneko was born and he has tried to hurry as much as possible to spend as much time as possible with his new offspring, as well as with his mother, Kelley, and his other son, Kepa. They are all perfectly. leading duo.

Si Woo Kim and J.J. Spaun lead PGA Tour rookie Sahith Theegala by one stroke, with Tony Finau, J.T. Poston, the South Korean K.H. Lee and Austrian Sepp Straka tied for fourth with a 6-under 64 at TPC Southwind.

Kim holed out for eagle on the par 4 of the 18th to get to 8 under par, shortly after advancing with a series of four birdies. Kim's 8-iron shot from approximately 168 yards was in line with the pin, and after two jumps he fell into the cup.

Kim attributed his streak of birdies at Nos. 13 to 16 to a mid-round adjustment to his grip on the putt. The first two birdie putts came from about 13 and 24 feet, respectively.

Spaun, for his part, added eight birdies and no bogeys. It was the start he was looking for as he tries to get back to the form he was in when he won the Valero Texas Open in April.

Theegala's bogeyless 63 marked his 49th round in the PGA Tour-leading 60 this season. He started with three birdies on the back nine, made three in a row at numbers 2-4 and sank a 25-foot putt on his final hole, the par-4 ninth.
