AVONDALE, La. – At age 42, Ryan Palmer is 18 years older than his playing partner, Jon Rahm, this week at the Zurich Classic. Despite the gap, Rahm and Palmer proved themselves as one of the most compatible duos at TPC Louisiana.
The pair got off to a hot start in foursomes Friday evening, birdieing each of their first three holes, Nos. 10-12, and after completing six holes before the horn sounded for darkness, they returned Saturday morning to card four more birdies and a second-round, 7-under 65.
It was the round of the first alternate-shot session and it gave Rahm and Palmer the 36-hole lead at 15 under.
