MAMARONECK, N.Y. _ World No. 2 Jon Rahm said he was victimized by bumpy greens at the end of the day. He finished at 1-under.
"They're bentgrass greens that are soft after 140 players went through them. They're going to get a little bumpy. It's just how it is. It's golf. When you're playing putts with two, three, four feet of break, you're not hitting them that firm. And when they're a little bit irregular, you might get some odd bounces. And that's what happened to me today. I kind of lost confidence with the pace of the putts I was hitting.
Still, Rahm said, "as hard as it is to believe that I'm going to say this, it was relatively stress-free because of how good I hit it. I had a lot of birdie looks out there. I wish I would have made a few, yeah, but still a lot of golf to be played, and hopefully I can keep striking it like this."
