VALLARTA, MEX (SNN-TV) – Among the milestones eluding World No. 2 golfer, Jon Rahm: a title in Mexico. Rahm aims to change that.
He has been close, with two third-place showings at the WGC-Mexico Championship at Chapultepec.
Rahm started strong at the Mexico Open at Vidanta, the event’s first appearance on the PGA TOUR schedule in a history dating back to 1944.
Propelled by a chip-in birdie at the par-3 13th hole, his fourth of the day, and an eagle at the short par-4 seventh, Rahm opened in 7-under 64 at Vidanta Vallarta, matching the low score of the morning wave on a sun-kissed day on the western Mexican coast.
