The Spaniard is tied for fifth at the PGA Championship and satisfied to be solidly in the hunt at a major Sunday for the first time since 2023.

Jon Rahm joked that he would have an even better chance to win if the fan he hit in the head with an errant approach shot at the PGA Championship on Saturday had been a little better soccer player.

Ryder Cup star Rahm rocketed into contention ahead of a super Sunday at Quail Hollow by posting his lowest round at a Major since making his high-profile move to the Saudi-backed series and his 67 has put him in with a chance of completing a personal hat-trick and hitting huge national milestones.
