Jon Rahm has been hit underfoot on the first day of the 2026 PGA Championshipon Thursday in the United States. In fact, in the second big tournament of the season, on the first day, the Basque golfer has needed 69 strokes to complete the tour. The seven men in the top ranking have taken two fewer than Rahm.

The top golf players are the American Scottie Scheffler, the Australian Min Woo Lee, the Germans Martin Kaymer and Stephan Jager, the South African Aldrich Potgieter, the Japanese Ryo Hisatsune and the American Alex Smalley.

Along the way, Jon Rahm has been getting better and better. In the first ten holes, he has not been doing well, but in the eleventh he has achieved a spectacular "eagle". In the last hole he has made a "birdie", so he has put an end to the day under the grass.

"At the beginning of the week, it was thought that 15-20 strokes would have to be made underneath in order to prevail in the tournament. Maybe someone from the PGA has heard that and done something about it," the barrikar said, half jokingly, during the press conference, referring to the results.

Friday is the second day of this year's PGA Championship.
