Farmers Insurance Open 2019: Jon Rahm Shoots 10 Under, Leads After Round 1

Jon Rahm rarely gets mentioned in conversations among the world's most prominent players.

Maybe that's about to change.

The Spaniard carded 10-under 62 in Thursday's opening round of the 2019 Farmers Insurance Open, giving him a one-stroke lead over Justin Rose and Doug Ghim. C.T. Pan (-8) and Jordan Spieth (-7) round out the top five.

Rahm shot an incredible 29 on the back nine (his front), nailing eagles on the Nos. 10 and 17. His only blip on the round was a bogey on the par-three third, but he bounced back to birdie four of his final five holes.
