FORT WORTH, Texas – On Thursday Jon Rahm caused some to double take when he explained that he hit driver a dozen times on Day 1 at the Dean & DeLuca Invitational.
Colonial is widely considered a ball-striker’s golf course, which is code for a course that doesn’t allow bombers to swing as freely as they would at many PGA Tour events.
Rahm’s aggressive approach, however, is not shared by all, as evidenced by Paul Casey’s choice to hit just two drivers on Friday on his way to a second-round 66 that left him a stroke off the early lead.
