WILMINGTON, N.C. What Jon Rahm said was perhaps his best ball-striking round of the year came down to a chip.Two strokes off the lead playing the final hole, the Spaniards third shot at the par-5 18th from about 40 feet traveled about half that distance.Still, Rahm, who was 2 under for the day, figured he still had a chance to close on the lead.I was saying something good's going to happen on this back nine, it hasn't happened yet, he said. After flubbing that first [chip], I thought to myself, this is going in. I just need to put it on the green, it's going to go in for sure, and I think I just willed it in, honestly. My willpower made that ball go in.The chip-in birdie to close his round moved Rahm into a share of second place with Alex Noren at 7 under, a stroke behind front-runner Patrick Reed.Rahm won earlier this year at the Farmers Insurance Open and finished runner-up to Dustin Johnson in March at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. If he were to win on Sunday, Rahm would become just the third international player, behind Sergio Garcia and Seve Ballesteros, to win twice before they were 23 years old.

Best shot: On the 13th hole, I nuked a drive 285 down the middle of the fairway and left a whole mess of #TourSauce on that teebox. I'll get into more on shot I wish I could have back. Worst shot: It has to be between the complete flub of a chip shot on the par 5 11th or the 3 wood I hit off the tee that went 100 yards into the fairway bunker.

More often or not, my blow up holes are all mental. I'll top a drive or something. Have a pretty good 2nd shot, then I'll flub a chip and it will go a foot or so and I will lose all focus on that hole and end up with an 8 or something.
