Vizcaíno golfer Jon Rahm is one of the favorites to win the United States Open, the third Grand Slam of the season since Thursday in Shinnecock Hills, New York. Rahm wants to star in the world's top players led by Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.
The Lion of Barrikahas twice won a major, the United States Open 2021 and the Masters 2023. Rahm has proved to be a player who has once again reached the top of the world ranking. The Biscayan has been the last true rival of Scheffler to settle in the first place since he left for LIV Golf. .
When he has completed a decade as a professional, at the age of 31, Barrika's has broken his triumphal drought, winning in Hong Kong and then in Mexico. But above all, afterdoingthe poor Masters of Augusta , Rahm was back in the PGA Championship fighting for a major last month, finishing second.
Rahm is looking for the third major after demonstrating the quality needed to cope with the usual hardness of the United States Open, where he has participated six times and finished four in the top ten.
Shinnecock Hills is giving a lot to talk about because of the tough, fast greens that won't hold the ball with the expected wind on Long Island. The United States Open is not understood without those fields, without taking the best players to the extreme.
Scheffler M is still a golf machine and has the first chance to complete the Grand Slam in New York. If he wins on Sunday, the American would become the seventh golfer in history to achieve the feat, after McIlroy was sixth in last year's Masters, behind Ben Hogan, Gene Sarazen, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
