Yon Rahm (Spain), who is aiming to regain the No. 1 spot in the world men’s golf ranking, succeeded in turning the atmosphere around.
On the 27th (Korean time), Ram scored 5 under par 67 in the second round of the PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open (total prize money of $8.7 million) held at Torrey Pines Golf Club Book Course (par 72) in San Diego, California, USA. hit Ram, who made an interim total of 4 under par 140, was tied for 14th place.
On the first day of the tournament, Lam, who was in danger of missing the cut by hitting a 1-over par on the southern course of Torrey Pines Golf Club, showed his concentration on the second day. After tying 1 eagle, 5 birdies and 2 bogeys to score a 5-under par, he improved his ranking by 102 places from the previous day.
Ram, who started the game on the 10th hole that day, did not reduce the number of strokes until the 4th hole, but from the 5th hole, Ram started to reduce the number of strokes. After catching an eagle in the 5th hole, he made 3 consecutive birdies from the 6th to the 8th hole, completing a 5-under par. The driving force behind Ram’s 5 strokes reduction is his precise shots and putts. With a 77.78% hit rate on the green and a sharp iron shot, he showed no gaps even on the green. He puttted at any distance and laid the foundation for a top 10 finish in this tournament as well.
Ram, who recently won the Sentry Tournament of Champions and the American Express, can return to the top of the world rankings depending on the results of this tournament. If he scores higher than third place alone in this competition, he will be ranked first in the world rankings for the first time in about 10 months since March last year.
All Korean players also performed well. Ahn Byeong-hoon (32), who recorded 140 strokes at 4 under par, was named the highest. Returning to the PGA Tour for the 2022-2023 season, Ahn Byeong-hoon will challenge for the second top 10 of the season in this tournament. 메이저놀이터
