Muirfield Village has claimed many victims over its nearly 50 year history, Jon Rahm was not one of them today. The Spaniard’s spectacular back nine catapulted him into a 4 shot lead heading into Sunday. What was clicking for Rahmbo and how can claim the title of no. 1 in the world for the first time in his career (2:00)? Tony Finau’s lead was derailed after shooting 2-over on the back nine. He now sits four shots off the lead with 18 holes left to play. Does Tony have any shot of winning tomorrow (12:25)? Ryan Palmer and Jon Rahm teamed up together last year to win the Zurich Classic. After a 1-over performance today he sits T2 behind his former teammate. Can Palmer close out and defeat Rahm (17:20)? Tiger Woods looked much better today than he did yesterday. His 1-under round wasn’t too shabby compared to the high numbers that lurked around every corner on moving day (23:50). We wrap with our picks heading into Sunday, is Jon Rahm a lock to win or can we find value in Finau or Palmer (35:41)?—————————Want to win $1,000 without putting any of your own cash at stake?
