Tranlate this title Jon Rahm loses a ball and fixes it in time in spanish

Spanish golf stormed Chapultepec on the third day of the Mexican leg of the LIV Golf Championship. With 18 holes to play, Jon Rahm (67) leads by two strokes over Tyrrell Hatton, his teammate on the 13th Legion, who are dominating the team standings (15 strokes ahead) because Tom McKibbin is in third place, three strokes back. On a day where the golfers took full advantage of the combination of power and altitude (2,200 meters) to exploit the course, David Puig, Josele Ballester, and Luis Masaveu joined the party.

Jon Rahm, results

Rahm spent many holes as close as three strokes behind his young Northern Irish teammate. This was due to his only mistake of the day, but a significant one. He played his second shot on the 5th hole (a par 4), and the ball landed slightly over the green and went to the left. There were supposed to be fences there marking out of bounds, but they couldn’t find the ball. He had to backtrack and ended up with a double bogey.

But the Spaniard understands this course, the poa greens, the kind found on many courses in Vizcaya, and he redeemed himself on the back nine. He sank five birdies and will go for his second win of the season and his fourth on the tour on Sunday. The team has already secured the victory. For the third year in a row. Since its inception, the 13th Legion has always won in Mexico.

Where the man from Barrika thrived, with his powerful drivers, accurate iron shots, and, above all, devastating putting, the others fell behind. McKibbin was erratic at the end and played the back nine under par; Masaveu (70), who briefly threatened the lead again today, ultimately paid the price for being unfamiliar with such positions. He played those nine holes at par, even though earlier, on the 8th, he had hit his ball into the water on the par 3, and his next shot went in from out of bounds. Branden Grace, coming from behind, hit his ball into the pond on the 18th hole, another par 3… Puig and Ballester, on the other hand, shone brightly. (Results)

The first, Rahm’s neighbor in Arizona, had an unforgettable day of movement. He shot a 62, one stroke shy of Jon’s course record, with three immediate birdies and a subsequent prodigious sequence. He had made his only bogey of the day on the 15th hole—he had started on the 8th—because he three-putted and it seemed his joy was waning, but his response was legendary. He strung together an eagle and five more birdies to move into fifth place, four strokes off the lead. «I even thought I could shoot a 59,» said Puig. «But I didn’t leave them close enough.»

Josele Ballester, who hits drivers that travel over 400 yards on this course, capitalized on his power. He’s thrilled with those cannon shots he hits slightly to the left, because at this point the ball «doesn’t curve as much and produces a slight fade,» he explains. He carded a fabulous 65, after seven birdies and a bogey, despite missing a birdie on the 12th, one of the par 5s, where he shot for eagle. He was so determined that he overshot the putt and missed the return putt. He finished right alongside Puig. If the 13th Legion governs Mexico, the Fireballs are the leading political force in the opposition. Even Sergio García (70), finally, played under par.
