Is anyone capable of stopping Jon Rahm?
The new world No. 1 poured it on again Friday at the European Tour’s Scottish Open, going out in 29 and opening up a two-shot lead at the Renaissance Club.
Rahm has been on a heater over the past two months, tying for eighth at the PGA Championship, running away with the Memorial before an untimely withdrawal because of COVID-19, and then storming from behind to win the U.S. Open.
After a brief break to celebrate with friends and family in Arizona, Rahm has stayed hot overseas, opening up with rounds of 66-65 to take the clubhouse lead in the final event before the Open Championship.
