It hasn't been a walk in the park for Rahm at Aronimink this week. Questioned relentlessly about the future of LIV Golf and his squandered role as a global golf ambassador in the build up to the 2026 PGA Championship, the two-time major winner opened two-over through 10 at Aronimink Golf Club on Thursday. Sitting in middle of the fairway on the par-4 second, Rahm needed something—anything—to turn the tide, and much to the delight of the Philly faithful, he got just that.

Could this slam-dunk eagle be the shot that jumpstarts Rahm's PGA Championship and major season as a whole? It's too early to tell, but most golf fans will hope so. Whatever you think of LIV Golf or Rahm's decision to join the big-budget failure, we can all agree that golf is better when Rahm is fighting for major titles not major cuts.
