• Golf: this is how Jon Rahm was forged, an unusual number one in the world
  • Sports: Rahm's way to the top

It was 7:11 a.m. local time on Friday in San Francisco, 4 p.m. Thursday in Hunnan, the Chinese town that saw the birth of Haotong Li, leader of the PGA Championship . Happy with his first lead in the Majors, this PGA Championship is the ninth of his career. Five hours after delivering the spectacular 65-shot card , while China was already asleep, Li continued to beat themselves up on the TPC practice field in Harding Park , an example for the young people of another young man of only 25 years who dreams of making history for the sport Chinese, in his country he is already a mass idol, but becoming the first Chinese Grand Slam winner would bring him closer to the category of god. Haotong Limaintains two strokes ahead of a group with Frenchman Mike Lorenzo-Vera, defending champion Brooks Koepka , who had to be treated on the field by doctors, suffering from severe pain in his hip, Englishman Tommy Fleetwood , American Daniel Berger or former World No. 1s Jason Da and Justin Rose .

Jon Rahm, the only Spanish survivor for the weekend, will have to attack on Saturday. Barrika's finished the second day with 69 strokes, leaving his overall result at -1, ranked 31st, seven behind the Chinese player. Difficult but not impossible, the Spanish game seems that without great flourishes, it is improving for days. "It is hard to believe that he only made one shot less than yesterday," he declared in clear reference to his improvement in the game, although without a clear endorsement of the result. "I have played much better from tee to green, a shame a couple of key putts that have not wanted to enter," he concluded with the hope that tomorrow the progression of improvement will continue and that he can give himself a chance for victory on Sunday.

In the fight for the world ranking in parallel to this first great of the year, things remain tight, number one Justin Thomas finished with +1 fair result that allows him to pass the cut, Rory MclIlroy , Webb Simpson tied with Jon Rahm in -1 and the best placed at this point of Dustin Johnson with -4.

Tiger Woods walked away from the goal of conquering his fifteenth big by signing a card of 72 strokes (+2). His cumulative par score leaves him 8 strokes behind the tournament leader. Neither Sergio García, Rafa Cabrera-Bello and Jorge Campillo could pass the cut of the first great of the season.
