• Willett makes birdie on final green to take share of lead• Rory McIlroy shoots superb round of 65 but still nine off the paceJon Rahm has derived such joy from prime events on the European Tour that it seems astonishing to think there was once doubt over how prominent the Spaniard could be when back in his home continent. After forging a college career in the
United States – and winning his first professional tournament there, in 2017 – Rahm has proved the epitome of golfing versatility. The 24-year-old is now 18 holes from adding the BMW PGA Championship to a European Tour CV which already includes two
Irish Opens, a Spanish Open and the season-ending DP World Tour Championship. It’s as if he never went away.
Rahm holds a share of the 54-hole Wentworth lead with Danny Willett after the pair traded 68s. The reinvigorated former Masters champion made birdie on the last on Saturday to deny Rahm an overnight advantage.
