Golf Jon Rahm is resurrected to fight for the Genesis win as Tiger makes the cut in pain

Jon Rahm is one of those special athletes; of those who are capable of turning a situation around in a matter of seconds, of those who when they seem most sunken, get up. During the second day of the Genesis Invitational, Rahm did it again, turned around when the worst feelings came from his golf and ended up giving Riviera Country Club a real beating in a winning streak of five holes.

It was a run of three birdies and an eagle and another weekend fighting for the win. Rahm finished his second day with 68 shots with the last rays of light, a -9 that led him to share second place with Keith Mitchell and Lee Hodges, all one shot away from also North American Max Homa, who finished the second day with a bogey and another 68 shots.

The -3 of the Spaniard was an ode to patience and suffering, if on the first day, with only six fairways taken, his game was mediocre from the tee, the second day was even worse, only reaching 4 fairways in the 18 holes. And that 'Rahmbo' started the day with an eagle on hole 1 and closed it with another on hole 17, the merit in this case was a lucky carom with the stands that left the initially deflected ball of the Spaniard a meter and a half from the hole. He was smiling and did not miss out on the gift of the golf gods, although a hole later the course would exact its revenge with a bogey on the 18th, after missing another start into the rough.

It was an uncomfortable day, where the best thing was the result and the grit of the Spaniard, who puts himself in a position to continue making history.

Tiger Woods choked on the Riviera greens. "I blocked them, they were bad putts," Woods justified some big mistakes at the beginning of his round. I didn't kick well today, it was the highest result I could have done today. He could have done five or six less shots easily. But I missed putts early and in the middle of the round when I had opportunities."

Woods' round did not have much more history, a bad decision on the 6th hole, in one of his five bogeys of the day, Woods could only birdie the 17th hole. A card of 74 ( 3), which, however, leave the consolation of being able to play the weekend.
