LOS ANGELES: Jon Rahm, chasing a third straight US PGA Tour title and a possible return to number one in the world, piled the pressure on Farmers Insurance Open leader Sam Ryder on Friday.

Spain’s Rahm, ranked third in the world, fired a six-under 66 that featured an eagle and five birdies on the Torrey Pines South Course to move within two strokes of Ryder’s lead.
