PGA Tour: Arnold Palmer Invitational leaderboard here
In 1971 Jerry Reed had a hit song "When you're hot you're hot" and it went on to say "when you're not you're not"
That about sums up the status of the big Spaniard and world #1 Jon Rahm, with 5 wins in his last 9 outings, 3 of them on this season's PGA Tour already, and we're still six weeks away from Augusta.
He started with 3 birdies, then finished eagle, birdie, birdie -7 65 and a two shot lead over an elite field at this designated event on a very tough Bay Hill course at this $20,000,000 AP Invitational.
Consider this, he posts -7 and he only hit 8 fairways. "I wish all my rounds were as enjoyable as this " was his summation.
Weather : Today the wind is up in Orlando (+20mph) the staff have let the rough grow and the greens are already shaved and rolling at 14 on the Stemp meter. You can expect scoring to soar.
Nick Taylor mentioned that yesterday after his round of -3 69 T13. " Getting off to a good start here is always good, it wasn't to windy and I hear Friday is going to be brutal, so it gives me a bit of a cushion.
He leads the Canadians who had a tough day.
Adam Svensson, Corey Connors E 72 T50
Mac Hughes +2 74 T80
Taylor Pendrith, Adam Hadwin +5 77 T112
The projected cut line is E so far in round 2
Note : Michael Gligic T47 -1 71, David Hearn E 72, at the alternative event Puerto Rico Open where the leaderboard is here.
