Jon Rahm Confident, Looks to ‘Make Some Music’ at PGA Championship
Jon Rahm has struggled at major championships lately, with just one top-10 and one missed cut in his last four starts. However, he is confident he can buck that trend this weekend at the PGA Championship.
After 36 holes, Rahm is tied for 27th place, six shots behind leader Jhonattan Vegas. It’s a position he feels comfortable in as he looks to make further progress over the weekend.
“I think I’m in good position,” he said after the round. “Adding to the fact that I feel like I’m getting better, more confident with the swing. I made a lot of good swings out there today and gave myself plenty of chances.”
The Spaniard was even encouraged by the fact that Tyrrell Hatton and Tom McKibbin, two of his Legion XIII LIV Golf teammates, were not far behind on the leaderboard. Both Hatton and McKibbin finished the first 36 holes on 1-under.
I was going to say if we all play together tomorrow I can get some music maybe,” he joked.
But his biggest source of confidence is that while he has yet to find his best golf at Quail Hollow, he feels that profound improvement is within his grasp.
“If I can start the first few holes better than I played so far, make a few birdies and get a round going and post something around 3-, 4-under, which I don’t feel like it’s something too much to ask. I feel like, believe it or not, it’s doable,” he said.
Rahm’s performance in the second round of the PGA Championship included two birdies and one bogey on the front nine and par on every hole on the back nine. His score (1-under for the round) allowed him to climb two spots on the leaderboard.
A day earlier, Rahm posted the same score, but in a much more eventful round that included five birdies and four bogeys. The back nine was also his best stretch, as he finished it bogey-free with two birdies.
The two-time major champion is currently the third-highest ranked LIV Golf player on the leaderboard, behind Richard Bland and Bryson DeChambeau, who are tied for 17th on 3-under. Five other members of the Saudi-backed league made the cut.
This is Rahm’s ninth start in the PGA Championship, where he has two top-10 finishes. His best finish has been a tie for fourth in 2018. He has missed the cut twice, most recently in 2024.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
