Jon Rahm third in controversial world ranking

on

Jon Rahm is unstoppable. The Spanish golfer won the American Express this Sunday, his second title of the year in consecutive weeks, playing at a high level that allowed him to maintain the margin with which he began the last round. The numbers of Barrika, 28, are spectacular. Not only has he won the last two tournaments that he has played in two weeks in a row, but he has won 4 of the last 6 tournaments played and has a ratio of almost 12% of tournament wins to the total in which he has played. competed. He is the current number 1 without discussion by game, and this is shown by his number 1 in the FedEx Cup, the ranking of the American PGA tour. Despite this, that is not reflected in the world ranking, where he has risen from sixth to third place behind Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler.

Jon Rahm, ranking

Basque golfer Jon Rahm, brilliant champion of The American Express tournament. Coming off his second win of the year, Rahm has a combined 54-under in two events. But also, what shows his enormous regularity over time and that his form is not a passing thing is the fact that he has only finished outside the top-10 once since August.

Rahm has already shown his contrary opinion on several occasions towards the current scoring system generated by the ranking, and although he did not criticize it at the press conference prior to American Express, nor did he do so afterwards. He also did not want to go into the rag when a journalist told him “despite what some computers say…”.
