Jon Rahm has taken the lead at the Genesis Invitational after an impressive third round on Saturday. The Spaniard is two shots clear of both Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott and three ahead of Tiger Woods.
The Spanish golfer made six birdies and an eagle to move to the top of the leaderboard at Riviera Country Club in California. Meanwhile, Tiger Woods showed improvement in his return to competitive action after a long layoff.
In the tournament’s second round, Rahm took full advantage of the ideal conditions to perform a stunning performance. He made an eagle on the first hole and followed it up with birdies on the third, fourth, sixth, eighth, 10th, and 11th holes. He finished the day at 10 under par, two shots ahead of American player Matthew Wolff. This is the first time Rahm has led a PGA Tour event after 36 holes.
Rahm shot a 4-under 67 to take the lead heading into the tournament’s final round. He had a shaky start, carding three bogeys on the front nine. However, he made up for it with four birdies in the back nine to finish the day.
Meanwhile, 15-time major winner Tiger Woods continued his comeback after a serious car accident last year. He carded a 2-under 69, his best score since he won the Zozo Championship in October 2020. Although he is still far behind the leaders, Woods will be encouraged by his progress as he aims to regain full fitness and form ahead of the Masters in April.
