WASHINGTON: Patrick Cantlay rolled in an eight-foot birdie putt at the final hole Friday to stay one stroke in front of top-ranked Jon Rahm in the US PGA Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta.
Cantlay started the day two shots in front of Rahm and had four birdies without a blemish in his four-under 64. That included a 15-footer at the 17th and his testing effort at 18 that preserved his lead on 17-under after Rahm had closed with three straight birdies.
Rahm finished with six birdies against one bogey in his five-under 65.
That put him at 16-under in the tournament that features a staggered start in which players were staked to strokes based on their spot in the playoff…
