Thompson lipped out a birdie putt on the 18th hole, and will begin Sunday’s final round tied for the lead with Spain’s Rahm
If Davis Thompson is going to finish off his first career victory at The American Express in the California desert, the PGA Tour rookie is going to have to overcome one of golf’s best to do it.
A total of 20 players were at 15 under or better through three rounds of the event that is played on three courses: PGA West Stadium Course, PGA West Nicklaus Tournament Course and La Quinta Country Club. Rahm, 28, shot a 7-under 65 on Saturday, also on the Stadium Course, and will lean on his experience Sunday as an eight-time winner on the PGA Tour.
After five eagles in the first two rounds, Thompson did not have any Saturday, although he did get off to a hot start with four birdies on the front nine. He had two birdies and a bogey on the back before his lip out at 18, with his putt spinning off the left edge of the cup. “If we get this weather again, I’m going to have to shoot most likely 66 or lower to have a good chance to win,” said Rahm about the warmer temperatures and little to no wind. “But that’s the challenge. The level of talent of this tour is only increasing.”“He’s doing a phenomenal job and he’s playing amazing golf and showing it,” Rahm said.
