Jon Rahm Stumbles on Final Holes at Aronimink PGA Championship

During the second round of the PGA Championship at Aronimink in Philadelphia, Spanish golfer Jon Rahm struggled with his driving accuracy in the final holes, causing him to lose momentum. Although Rahm had performed solidly through the first part of the day, reaching as high as third place, he missed five fairways in the last nine holes. This erratic play led to bogeys on the 13th and 15th holes, resulting in an even-par round of 70 strokes. Consequently, Rahm finished the day in sixteenth place, three strokes behind the leaders, Americans Alex Smalley and Maverick McNealy. He ended the round one stroke behind Scottie Scheffler and fellow Spaniard David Puig. The challenging course conditions, characterized by difficult pin placements and movement in the greens, tested the players' courage. While Rahm showed promise earlier in the tournament, his inability to consistently hit fairways on the Donald Ross-designed course has raised questions about his contention status for the weekend rounds.
