Jon Rahm close to taking number one ranking with lead in CaliforniaPA Sport StaffJon Rahm is on the verge of regaining world number one status after a third-round 65 put him in the lead at the Genesis Invitational. Rahm picked up six birdies without a dropped shot to sit three shots clear at 15 under headed into Sunday’s final round in California. A win at The Riviera Country Club would see the Spaniard eclipse Scottie Scheffler for the world number one ranking. Chasing Rahm is the overnight leader Max Homa, who was left to rue two late bogeys en route to carding a two-under 69. Meanwhile, Tiger Woods had his best round of the tournament, carding a four-under 67 to secure a spot on Sunday.
