Jon Rahm continues to find good sensations at Le Golf National, next to Versailles, and with a second round of 66 strokes (-5), for 133 (-9), he remains with clear options in the fight for the medals of the men’s golf tournament in Paris 2024.
He is fourth alone, two behind the leaders Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood and Hideki Matsuyama. The player from Barrica improved this Friday on the 67 strokes of the first day, although he did not add a new eagle to the two made on the first day.
However, he started his second round in excellent form, with three birdies in the first four holes.
Jon Rahm, news
He was unstoppable, with good approach shots and fine putting. But on hole 8, a par 3 that already gave him problems on Thursday, he repeated the bogey of the first day.
He was close to reducing the course’s strokes in the following holes, but it was not until the final stretch that he achieved it. He birdied the 14th, 15th and 16th, and made par on the last two, especially with a remarkable putt on the 18th.
The American Xander Schauffele, recent winner of the British Open, also of the PGA and gold in Tokyo’2021, leads with a total of 131 (-11), after his 66 in the second round. He was equaled by the Japanese Matsuyama and the English Fleetwood.
Matsuyama reached the last hole of the second round as the sole leader, but a double bogey blurred his card, which remained at 68 (-3) and allowed Schauffele and Fleetwood to catch him at the head of the tournament. The Englishman also had the option of finishing the second day as the leader, but a bogey on the 18th prevented him from doing so.
The Catalan David Puig has 138 (-4), after repeating 69 in his second round, with four birdies and two bogeys. The Rules of Golf are a set of rules and standard procedures by which the sport of golf should be played. They are jointly written and administered by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St.
Andrews, the governing body of golf throughout the world, except in the United States and Mexico, which are governed by the United States Golf Association. An expert committee, made up of members of the R&A and the USGA, oversees and refines the Rules every four years.
The latest revision was effective January 1, 2016. Changes to the Rules of Golf generally fall into two main categories: those that improve understanding of the Rules and those that reduce penalties in certain cases to ensure balance.
The rulebook, entitled “The Rules of Golf,” is published on a regular basis and also includes rules governing amateur status. In Italy, the Federgolf is responsible for supervising competitions by enforcing the rules issued by the R & A, checking that these rules are observed by the Clubs, Associations and their members and managing the resulting sporting justice, protecting their interests abroad.
