Did Jon Rahm make the friday cut at RBC Heritage?
Jon Rahm jumped in 75 positions after playing a bogey-free round of 64 at the 2023 RBC Heritage on Friday.
The new Masters winner struggled with his game in the first round due to fatigue but bounced back to finish in 18th position and make the cut at the tournament.
Jon Rahm started the second round of the RBC Heritage with a 5-par birdie on the second hole and then made two more back-to-back birdies on the 5th and 6th holes. He birdied four straight holes in the second half of the tournament to make it a total of 64.
Jon Rahm was on the verge of missing the cut at the RBC Heritage after the first round, when he made four bogeys and only three birdies to wrap up at 74. But it was because he was tired from playing in tournaments every week dating back to the beginning of 2023.
Speaking about his disappointing performance in the first round, Jon Rahm said:
"I hate to make excuses, but a couple of the swings towards the end were my body being tired and surprised me."
It is pertinent to note that 44-year-old Jimmy Walker took the lead after the second round. He surpassed opening-round leader Viktor Hovland to secure a three-stroke lead in the tournament.
