Omnium Farmers Insurance | Jon Rahm in the top three at Torrey Pines

(San Diego) World No. 1 Jon Rahm is part of a field of three golfers leading the Farmers Insurance Open, totaling 13 under par after the second round played Thursday at the course in Torrey Pines, Calif. .

Posted yesterday at 8:12 p.m.

The Spaniard, who was fourth the day before, could have been the sole leader if he had not committed a bogey on his last hole, after having managed eight birdies.

“The score suggests that I played a lot better than I did,” Rahm tempered. “I had a hard time finding the fairway, but I’m happy with my putts. I’m happy with the way I handled the course. For the few fairways I hit, I was able to hit the greens from the long grass, which is pretty good.”

His altogether solid card of -7 is not the best of the day, however, since the American Adam Schenk, with whom he shares command, finished with -10, after having made ten birdies, including eight in a row between N.4 and N.11.

“What an incredible day! I didn’t even know how many I made consecutively. But I knew I had to capitalize on this series as long as I was playing as well and that’s what I tried to do, “commented the latter the day after his 30and birthday.

Finally, the world No.6, Justin Thomas, impeccable with nine birdies in the bag, completes this trio.

The American Cameron Tringale, who, like Rahm, conceded a bogey on his last hole, after having nevertheless placed an eagle at N.5 and six birdies, follows the leaders at a length (-12).

Billy Horschel, who had dominated the proceedings on Wednesday, tumbled to 12and rank (-8), notably weighed down by a double bogey at N.14.
