Jon Rahm’s played himself into familiar territory through two rounds at Quail Hollow. Sitting a 2-under heading into Saturday, he’s eyeing a run at another major title alongside 35 other players all within 6 shots of Jhonattan Vegas’ 8-under lead.
Making a run at raising the Wannamaker will require cutting into the deficit from those at the top of the leaderboard, but the two-time major champ is upbeat with his play through two days, shooting back-to-back 1-under 70s.
“I think I’m in good position. Adding to the fact that I feel like I’m getting better, more confident with the swing. I made a lot of good swings out there (Friday) and gave myself plenty of chances,” Rahm said.
