Jon Rahm took the lead heading into the final round of the LIV Golf Mexico City tournament on Saturday [1].
Rahm's position at the top of the leaderboard puts him in a prime opportunity to secure his second LIV victory of the year [2]. As the captain of Legion XIII, his performance serves as a critical driver for both individual standings and team success within the league.
Playing at the Club de Golf Chapultepec in Mexico City, Rahm shot a four-under 67 during the third round [1]. This performance brought his overall score to 14-under par [1].
Reports on the exact size of the lead vary among sources. TNT Sports said that Rahm held a two-shot lead over the field [1]. However, TSN said he held a one-shot lead over his teammate, Tyrrell Hatton [2].
The Spanish golfer maintained a steady pace throughout the day to secure pole position for the final round. By navigating the course with a 67, Rahm established the momentum necessary to defend his lead against a competitive field in the closing stage of the event [1].
Rahm continues to be a central figure in the LIV Golf circuit. His ability to post low scores consistently across different venues has solidified his status as a favorite in the Mexico City tournament [2].
