Spain’s Jon Rahm moved to within two shots of the lead at the Spanish Open after carding a six-under-par 65 in Saturday’s third round. <\/b><\/p>\n

The three-time former champion pulled back three shots on leader Angel Hidalgo, whose 68 left him on 13 under for the tournament.<\/p>\n

Rahm will join fellow Spaniard Hidalgo in Sunday’s final pairing at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid. <\/p>\n

David Puig, also of Spain, is a shot back on 11 under following his 65, while England’s world number 184 Joe Dean and United States Ryder Cup player Patrick Reed are on eight under. <\/p>\n

Rahm was only allowed to enter the tournament after lodging a late appeal against fines imposed by the DP World Tour<\/a> for his participation in conflicting Saudi Arabian-funded LIV Golf tournaments. <\/p>\n

The 29-year-old two-time major champion needs to play in four tournaments a season to retain his membership of the European-based circuit, which is necessary to be considered for the 2025 Ryder Cup team. <\/p>\n

He has already played at the Paris Olympics, which counts as a DP World Tour event, and has entered next month’s Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland and the Andalucia Masters at Sotogrande in Spain.<\/p>\n

The DP World Tour season ends in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
