Jon Rahm has a chance to surpass Dustin Johnson as the world's top-ranked golfer this week with a win at the Farmers Insurance Open.

Rahm vaulted to second last week with a win at the CareerBuilder Classic, and he's only one shot back after the second round this week at Torrey Pines. Rahm also won the event last year to claim his first PGA Tour title.

But Rahm isn't concerned with his world ranking this week. He's maintaining a patient approach.
"I’m not thinking about it," Rahm said, via golfchannel.com. "I’m just trying to keep going and try to keep playing good golf. What happens will happen, but so far I’m just trying to focus on one round at a time."

Rahm has three straight top-2 finishes spanning across the PGA and European Tours. He finished 2017 with a win at the DP World Tour Championship, and then picked up in 2018 with a runner-up finish at the Tournament of Champions and a win last week.

While Rahm doesn't quite have the resume of a Johnson or Jordan Spieth, he hasn't lost as many points in the ranking, which works on a two-year scale
