Jon Rahm faces the last 18 holes of the BMW PGA Championship , one of the most important tournaments of the old continent, tied for first place along with Englishman Danny Willett . Barrika finished the third round with a 68-stroke (-4) card and came out unscathed from a complicated end.

In the 17th hole, par 5, the Spaniard was missing a putt of less than one meter signing the second bogey of the day, while in the 18th , after failing the exit on the left and having to drop with penalty he ended up saving a spectacular pair with a putt of more than six meters . Jon clenched his fist. "It has been a great day, I have played golf very well throughout the day . The putt of the 17th has been the worst moment, they are things that happen, it is golf. In the 18th, a bad swing , but we have returned to the present, and I managed to save the hole, "he said relieved right after signing his card.

His record in Rolex Series tournaments is amazing: in his three years as a professional, Jon has played 8 tournaments of which he managed to finish 7 times in the top 10 , with three wins included. His worst position in these outstanding European Tour tournaments was a 15th in the Italian Open of 2017. Faced with the obvious question of his idyll with this type of tournament Jon shrugged: "Coincidence, I have no idea, is what there is , I don't know how to answer you ... hopefully the streak goes on forever. "

A victory tomorrow would lead him to the first place of the Race to Dubai , where the Spaniard plans to compete for two more consecutive weeks (he will play Dunhill Links in Scotland and the Spanish Open in Madrid). After the tournament that will be played at the Country Club, he will rest six weeks to return to Dubai in the last event of the advanced year and to the month of November. But at the moment the world number six focuses its expectations on the last 18 holes of tomorrow. "I am playing well, comfortable, well swing and also mentally, if the conditions are as expected tomorrow (rain is expected) it will have to be hard mentally, " he concluded.

Meanwhile Rafa Cabrera-Bello concluded a good day of the movement with 67 strokes that placed him in sixth position with a cumulative result of -10 to five strokes of the head duo.
