PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the notion of a learning curve does not apply to Jon Rahm.Less than a year since turning pro, Rahm has quickly worked his way into the discussion of the games elite. He already has a win under his belt, finished second at a WGC event and entered The Players Championship on a run of five top-10 finishes in his last six starts.The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass usually extracts a toll from first-time visitors, but once again Rahm proved to be immune to conventional wisdom as he opened with a 4-under 68 to sit one shot off the early lead.Rahm capped his round with a 32-foot birdie on No. 18 and, perhaps more remarkably, made it through Pete Dyes design without dropping a shot.I dont know when the last time I made a bogey-free round, but at this course, first ever, its really something Im amazed at, Rahm said. Anything under par would have been amazing today, but birdieing 18, wow, I mean its something I really cant believe.
