Watch: Rahm's wild journey at the 16th
Jon Rahm's chance for the WGC-Match Play crown looked finished when he lost the par-5 12th hole to Dustin Johnson to go 4-down.
Rahm won two of the next three holes to shrink Johnson's lead to two headed to the par-5 16th. The young Spaniard blocked his drive to the right and found his ball in deep rough with tree trouble in front of him.
The 22-year-old got lucky with his escape, when his shot flew through the trees unscathed and found the fairway.
They say trees are 90% air.

After knocking a wedge onto the green, Rahm needed to make a 32-foot putt and hope Johnson missed his birdie attempt - which happened.
The lead is down to one!
