Jon Rahm signed up for a 350 million Saudi bounty 18 months ago .

Rahm missed last year’s US Open with an infected foot and followed that up the next month with seventh at The Open.

The 30-year-old had in fact blown out in two majors since he switched sides a tie for 45th at last year's Masters and a missed cut in the USPGA Championship.

Rahm could not continue his startling Saturday morning pace, with a bogey at the fifth stalling the momentum.

But he birdied at the eighth, 14th and 16th , but two closing bogeys that sum up his present state of mind.

Rahm can only continue to play on LIV , the league on which he won the individual title last year .
