ATLANTA – During the playoff opener two weeks ago at Liberty National, Jon Rahm spoke for many when asked his thoughts on the post-season format, which features a strokes-based start at the Tour Championship for the third year.
“I don't like it,” he said before going on to explain, as many others have, that strokes-based scoring at East Lake is a poor way to identify a season-long champion.
On Tuesday at East Lake, where the world No. 1 will start the week 6 under and four shots behind points leader Patrick Cantlay, the Spaniard was again asked his thoughts on the format at the finale.
