Jon rahm not stop. Not even a week before contesting the Ryder cup. The Basque has decided to join the Fortinet Championship, the tournament that opens the season of PGA Tour, a rarity in the world of golf for two reasons. On the one hand, because no other participant in the Ryder will compete in the Silverado. And, secondly, because no number one has ever played it in previous editions. Some comparisons that, in reality, do not mean that it is a bad decision. The one of Barrika considers that competing in this event is better to fine-tune your set-up, before the challenge of USA against Europe, than to stay at your home Arizona. By the way, he already crosses out a participation in the calendar of the PGA before traveling in autumn to Spain for him Open and the Andalusia Masters.
Rahm come back two weeks after fighting for him Tour Championship, the PGA final, which yielded to Patrick Cantlay for a hit. This result has been key for Cantlay was chosen Tuesday as the PGA Tour Player of the Year, a distinction voted by the golfers themselves under the name of Jack Nicklaus Award. It follows, because the votes are not made public, that Patty ice she prevailed in close bidding with Rahm, in favor of that latest triumph and her four course titles. One of them, by the way, succeeded in The Memorial, where Rahm was sent off for a positive for coronavirus when he was leading with a wide advantage. The Biscayan was also left without that prestigious crown, but he has ended up at the forefront of the circuit in monetary gains; at PGA of America, which is designated by points, and in the Vardon Trophy, for the lowest average score. Rahm has finished in the top-ten of 14 tournaments, five of them majors, for eight of Collin morikawa and seven from Cantlay. That is why it is number one in the world. From there no vote moves him.
