HOYLAKE : Spaniard Jon Rahm described his scintillating third round 63 at Royal Liverpool as his best ever on a links course as he charged back into contention at the Open on Saturday.
But with roars of"Rahmbo" ringing in his ears from the packed galleries, he caught fire to romp into second place midway through the afternoon on six-under-par, behind runaway second-round leader Brian Harman who was yet to start his third round. "The job today was to come out and give myself the best opportunity I could. Whenever you get a birdie, just thinking about one more. That's simply all you can do."
Just as the leaders were starting their rounds, Rahm then nailed another birdie on the 18th to send out a powerful message ahead of Sunday's conclusion.
