Memorial Round 3 Recap: Jon Rahm on verge of world no. 1 (7/18) - a podcast by CBS Sports, Golf

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)?
