PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland – Given Jon Rahm’s history on links courses in Northern Ireland, it was no surprise to see the Spaniard in the hunt after Day 1 of The Open.
Rahm, who won the 2017 Irish Open down the road at Portstewart Golf Club and grabbed another Irish Open title two weeks ago at Lahinch, got off to a fast start Thursday with birdies at Nos. 2 and 4 before closing his nine with three consecutive birdies to turn at 5 under.
