US Open.Jon Rahm seeks his first 'major' in the field of the '1974 Massacre': "It's a mental challenge, and I like that"
And suddenly the pleasant walk in the country yesterday turned into hell.
The wind and tricky flag positions gave
Winged Foot
the
most realistic dimension
during the second day of the
US Open.
Two days of competition that only leave six survivors below par for the course, from the initial 21 after 18 holes.
On the second day of competition there were only three laps under par,
Bryson de Chambeau's
-2
was the best result delivered in Friday's round and North American
Patrick Reed
with -4 is the tournament leader after the first two days.
The
USGA
is proudly rubbing its hands in anticipation of what could be a daunting weekend, where only players who made the cut finally established at +6 will compete.
Outside the tournament,
Tiger Woods
(+11),
Jordan Spieth
(+14),
Phil Mickelson
(+13)
Morikawa
(+7),
Kaymer, Woodland
(+8) or
Justin Rose
(+8) and the Spanish
Adrian remained. Otaegui
with +10, the young amateur
Eduard Roseaud
with +21.
Sergio García,
with a +15, once again reflects the alarming state of the Spanish short game.
However, the positive side of the day was for
Rafa Cabrera-Bello
and
Jon Rahm,
involved in the weekend of the second
major
of the year with full options to dream of everything.
Cabrera-Bello was the protagonist of a recital with the putter on the very fast greens at more than 12 feet of speed.
At the moment his valuable card from the field pair leaves him in third position with -2, just two behind the tournament leader.
For his part, Jon Rahm finished with mixed feelings, a +2 lap, after a final comeback with two birdies in the absence of the last hole, the most affordable par five of the entire course with a favorable wind, but the US Open
hits you when you least expect it
and the final bogey was a hard blow.
However, Rahm would find consolation throughout the afternoon in the bulky results of his teammates, who leave his accumulated score of +1 in 12th place, just five strokes behind Patrick Reed with 36 holes left to play.
Unbeatable situation
for either of the two surviving Spaniards to begin their assault on their first major, during a weekend that could be historic for Spanish sport.
