World No. 6 Jon Rahm fires third-round 65 to lead acciona Open de Espana

Rahm’s last win came at the Mexico Open in May.

Jon Rahm is the biggest star in this week’s field at the acciona Open de Espana, and so far he’s living up to that label.

After opening the tournament with a 64, Rahm has posted rounds of 68 and 65 around Club de Campo Villa de Madrid in Madrid, Spain, to take a one-shot lead into the final 18.

On day three, Rahm was able to keep the bogeys off the card and took advantage of a wonderful drive down the par-4 18th, where his tee shot found the green. The eagle putt came within inches of finding the cup but the Spaniard settled for a closing birdie.

Rahm’s last win came at the Mexico Open on the PGA Tour in May.
