Rahm can return to the number one ranking with a victory as he chases a third US PGA Tour title of 2023.
WORLD NUMBER THREE Jon Rahm fired a bogey-free six-under par 65 on Saturday to grab a three-shot lead at the at the Genesis Invitational in Riviera, where Tiger Woods thrilled fans with a four-under par 67.
Meanwhile, Séamus Power is in a tie for 15th heading into the final round, after an impressive four-under 67 which puts him on five-under for the tournament alongside Scottie Scheffler and Danny Willett. Rahm is seeking a third title of the year after victories at the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii and at La Quinta, California, in his next event.His hot start followed a strong autumn in Europe, where he won a third Spanish Open title in October and the DP World Tour Championship in November.
Homa, who started the day with a one-shot lead, kept the pressure on. He drained a 19-foot birdie putt at the third and added a five-foot birdie at the sixth. He tied Rahm’s lead with a birdie at the 10th and tied him again with a seven-foot birdie at the 13th. Still severely limited by the right leg injuries he suffered in a February 2021 car accident, Woods had barely made the halfway cut.
That prize money is bumped up thanks to the tournament’s status as one of the tour’s new designated events, designed to bring the best players together more often.
