He recovered a tournament that seemed lost on Thursday and Friday
Homa took the title with a fantastic -6 on Saturday and -13 overall.
After two epic days and comeback that placed him in second position, the Spanish jon rahm could not complete the feat this Saturday on the last day of the Farmers Insurance Open, the tournament that was held in San Diego and that ended with the victory of Max Homa.
Rahm had already won two tournaments in this fabulous January for him (Sentry Tournament of Champions and The American Express) and aspired not only to his third win in a row but also to regain number one in the world ranking.
Finally it could not be after a Farmers Insurance Open that It has been like a roller coaster for Barrika’s.
The first round on Wednesday seemed to rule out Rahm for the victory with a +1 that left him 9 shots behind the best and with great difficulties to make the cut.
But their recitals on Thursday and Friday (-5 and -6, respectively) placed him in the last day just two strokes behind the leader at the time, the American Sam Ryder.
However, the miracle did not materialize this Saturday since the Spaniard deflated in the last round with a +2 (-8 accumulated).
Rahm struggled early on with a bogey on the first hole, although it was the double ‘bogey’ on the fifth that already made things very uphill for him.
The Spaniard finished Saturday with three ‘birdies’, three ‘bogeys’ and a double ‘bogey’.
Neither could Ryder take the victory, in the lead during the first three days but that fell apart on the last day with a +3 card (-9 in total).
Thus, Homa took advantage of this circumstance to take the title with a fantastic -6 on Saturday and a -13 in total.
the venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas was the best Latino in this tournament with a cumulative -1 (+2 on Saturday).
Also reaching the last day of the Farmers Insurance Open were the Argentines Augusto Núñez (even in total and even on the last day), Emiliano Grillo (+2 on Saturday and +2 accumulated) and Tano Goya (+4 in the last round and +4 at the tournament).
