Jon Rahm still seeks his first individual win of 2019. He is coming off a win at the Zurich Classic a few weeks ago where he and veteran Ryan Palmer won the two-man event.

The 24-year-old Spaniard continues to be consistent beyond his years. Individually, he’s got seven top-10s in 10 starts with his best a T5 at the Farmers Insurance Open.

Rahmbo also took T12 at the Players Championship and T9 at the Masters. He’s got three top-10s in his last five major starts.

A PGA Championship style setup favors an aerial player like Rahm who has the power to contend at Bethpage even in his first time seeing the course.

He’s ninth in overall strokes gained including second off the tee. He’s a positive in all SG categories.

Rahm is second in approaches from 200-225 yards.

He’s been a good short range putter with a 100 percent clip from three feet and in and 14th from inside 10 feet.

Of the young guns looking to win their first major, Rahm is right near the top.
