from Spain Jon Rahm He reacted halfway through the second round of the 152nd edition of the British Open Golf this Friday, carding 70 strokes (one under par). at Scottish club Royal Troon for a total of 143 (+1).
‘El León de Barrica’ started the tournament on Thursday with a round of 73 (+2), and this Friday he managed to get into the field with a round of 70 (-1).
The day didn’t start well, with a bogey on hole 3. But after five consecutive pars, his first birdie of the day came on the 9th, with a spectacular chip from a hill just outside the green that he holed straight away.
Two more birdies followed on the 14th and 15th, But an improbable bogey on the 16th slowed him down. And on the 18th he had another putt for birdie that the winner of two majors and now integrated into the LIV circuit could not take advantage of.
“The goal was to finish the round on a tie. And I played very well. It’s a shame he couldn’t finish it. I feel bad because I didn’t give up a shot the last three holes and it’s annoying to finish (overall), but overall it’s been a good day, although it could have been better.”
Jon Rahm believes so “The important thing is not whether there are more or less players” Between him and the leader, “but the distance from the leader.” “Although it is eight (shots), it can be detected,” he assured.
