For the second professional golf round in a row, Jon Rahm has holed out in spectacular fashion.
Playing alongside Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth on May 14, Rahm's first round at the 2026 PGA Championship was off to a sluggish start with a score of +2 through 10 holes after the group started on the back nine. But on the par 4 second hole at Aronimink Golf Course in Pennsylvania, Rahm connected on his 98-yard approach shot perfectly and the ball bounced twice on the green before it sailed directly into the cup. The LIV Golf star moved to even par for the tournament with that shot.
It's the second time in less than a week Rahm has holed out with a flourish. At the LIV Golf Virginia event last week, Rahm recorded his first professional albatross when his second shot from 217 yards out at the par-5 17th hole at Trump National Washington D.C. went in the hole.
The problem is only Rahm and the people who witnessed it live initially saw what happened. The LIV Golf broadcast didn't show the shot. Eventually, footage from a distance emerged via the social media account of Rahm's LIV Golf team, Legion XIII.
Luckily, there appear to be more cameras available for the 2026 PGA Championship.
