Nobody wants to be in the gorse, unless, of course, you manage to get out of it unscathed.
Jon Rahm was the lucky one Sunday on Royal Liverpool’s par-5 fifth hole.
Brian Harman, the man Rahm and Co. are chasing at this 151st Open, was not.
Let’s start with Rahm. When he pulled his drive at No. 5, it looked destined to end up in the middle of a pack of thick gorse bushes left of the fairway. However, when television cameras panned to Rahm’s ball, it was sitting in a clear spot within the gorse and on some mown fescue.
