The Spanish Jon Rahm he has little chance of finishing in the top positions while the American Sahit Theegala maintains the first place in the Phoenix Open golf classification, a tournament belonging to the American PGA circuit that takes place in Arizona (USA).
Rahm will maintain world number one after this tournament despite not putting on a great performance. After the third round of the TPC Scottdale, he will start the final round tomorrow in 20th position. The 68 hits signed today, with a cumulative of 205 (eight under par), helped him to regain three places in the tablebut the three bogeys on the card take away the possibility of the top ten.
Theegala is relying on himself to clinch the title despite putting in his worst run of the tournament. After overcoming a double bogey on hole two, he managed to pocket five birdies with another error on the 11th hole and ended the day with 199 total strokes and 14 under par.
The American Brooks Koepka follows him closelyto a single blow, without abandoning the idea of revalidating the title obtained in the previous edition.
But both players will not be able to trust each other as four other American golferss -Scotie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, Talor Gooch and Xande Schauffele- can surprise from the third place achieved today, with two shots more than the leader.
