Rahm closes gap on Koepka as Masters resumes FMTNews FMTSports
AUGUSTA: Jon Rahm pulled within two strokes of leader Brooks Koepka as the third round of the Masters resumed today at rain-softened, cold Augusta National.
A marathon last-day drama was poised to unfold under the towering Georgia pines with Koepka chasing his fifth Major title, third-ranked Rahm seeking his second and both hunting a first green jacket. Koepka and Rahm appeared set for a head-to-head duel over 30 holes, with their nearest rival being US Amateur champion Sam Bennett in third on 6-under.With clear but sometimes windy conditions expected, the third round was set to finish in the morning and twosomes planned off split tees in the afternoon final round with plans to complete the year’s first Major tournament before sundown.
A victory by Koepka would bring a credibility boost for LIV after critics questioned how competitive golfers would be in Majors playing LIV’s shorter events with smaller fields.
