Rahm’s 6-over 78 in the first round on Thursday was his highest score in a non-major since a 78 in the opening round of the Andalucia Masters in 2021.
A day later, the Spaniard hit his first shot — a drive at No. 9 — into a bunker and went on to make five bogeys and a double on the way to a 77.
Rahm was 21 shots off the clubhouse lead, held by Adam Scott (67) and Filippo Cello (66) on 10 under, midway through the second round.

Rahm has never finished last in his nearly 100 events on the European tour, British broadcaster Sky Sports said.
The two-time major champion, who finished tied for 23rd at the Irish Open on Sunday, is one of the biggest stars in LIV Golf, the breakaway circuit that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last week with more than $500 million in debt.
