Jon Rahm

7:53 p.m.: Jon Rahm made double bogey on the final hole to shoot 71 and fall out of the lead and one shot behind Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick. It was his ...

On Thursday and Friday with a helping breeze, guys were knocking it on with 3-woods, but today it'll be a full driver for most with the wind coming in and off the left. 1:51 p.m.: Jordan Spieth rolls in a lengthy birdie putt on the short par-3 11th to get to two over. 3:05 p.m.: Hello, Joohyung Kim. The South Korean follows an eagle at the fifth (the first of the week) with a par on six and a smoothly-walked-in birdie att the seventh. With the face of his wedge pointed to the sky, Vick cuts the legs off a dainty little flop shot that cozies right up to the edge of the hole. After a lengthy discussion with his caddie, the defending champion hits a beauty of a nine iron into the first leaving a makeable birdie putt to tie the lead right out of the gate. But he made birdie on the 17th hole, then made a par save from 15 feet on the last hole and he shoots 71 to sit only two shots behind the leaders. After a sluggish start that included three bogeys in his first six holes, McIlroy sinks his first birdie putt of the day on No. 11 to move to two under, a mere two shots behind Zalatoris. Speaking of the leader, Zalatoris pushed his tee shot way right on 18, but found a gap between the bleachers for his second shot. He just made a birdie from six feet on the par-4 17th hole and is one in front of Matt Fitzpatrick and Will Zalatoris. He's two over on the day, one under on the championship and three behind Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick. The defending U.S. Open champion is on a tear right now and has birdied three of the last four holes. There was so much movement on the leaderboard that it's difficult to adequately describe what happened at The Country Club. Bottom line, Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick are tied for the lead at four under and Jon Rahm, who was in the lead by a shot but made double bogey on the last hole, is in third place at three under. The defending U.S. Open champion, and leader by one shot hit his drive into a fairway bunker, left it in the bunker on his second shot and now has a fried-egg lie from where his third shot now sits in a greenside bunker.

May 6, 2021; Charlotte, North Carolina, USA; Jon Rahm walks off 12 during the first round of the Wells Fargo Championship golf tournament.

Rahm won the event last year at Torrey Pines for his first career major. Rahm was attempting his third shot on the 433-yard 13th hole and was 99 yards out after laying up. For cyring out loud,” Rahm complained as he put his club into his bag.

Fitzpatrick failed to get up and down from the greenside bunker to save par at the last, slipping him back into a share of the lead, with Rahm making it a three-way tie at the top when he recovered from bogeying the 13th to take advantage of the par-five next and hole a 30-foot birdie at the 15th. Morikawa reduced the deficit to one with a birdie at the fifth but lost ground when he followed a bogey at the sixth with a three-putt double-bogey at the next, while Zalatoris followed a front-nine 33 by converting from five feet at the 15th to move to four under.

Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick emerged atop the leaderboard at the U.S. Open on Saturday during a brutal round in which eight players had at least a ...

A former PGA champion, he called it "probably the highlight of my whole entire life." Denny McCarthy made the cut on the number at 3-over par. To play that back nine at even par today was a really good effort, I thought. This Saturday at Brookline was so wild that Rahm was the last of eight players who had at least a share of the lead at some point. If anything, he said it was getting dark and he didn't notice his ball sitting down in the sand. That's all I was trying to do. He made one birdie in his round of 73. "I have 18 holes, and I'm only one shot back," he said. It's not like Rahm had full rights to the lead. Rahm's first shot from a fairway bunker hit the lip and nearly rolled into his footprint. He was equally steady and ran off three birdies over his last five holes for a 68. That's what knocked defending U.S. Open champion Jon Rahm out of the lead on the final hole.
