The young player attached to the Aragonese Golf Federation, Jorge Maicas, looked very happy when he went to the Club House as the provisional leader at the end of the first round of the PGA Open in Barcelona hosted by Pablo Larrazábal, who played on demand the tour of El Prat, dressed to prepare the field at the highest level.
And so on until Jorge Feliu, better known at the club as “Tole” and nephew of renowned Spanish professional Nacho Feliú, came in with 68 (-4) to lead the tournament alone. “I played very solid and very successfully in strategy and on putt. The field was exceptional, difficult and complex although I became comfortable, despite the fact that now I don’t play almost anything and very little training. Tomorrow will continue on the same line “, he said.
Jorge Maicas signed a 69 shots (-3) card for second place in the tournament. He started his round on the 10th hole, adding six birdies for just 3 bogeys. In his amateur career, it’s worth highlighting the success at the 2020 Barcelona Championship; the ninth place in the Andalusian Championship 2020; 2nd in the Spanish University Championship in 2019 and in the same year he finished 5th in the Absolute Championship of the Canary Islands.
He was followed by Michael Lundberg of Sweden (three wins on the European Tour) with a lap of 70 shots (-2). Tied at -2, Joel Moscatel and Asier Aguirre finished in second position, with Eduard Rousaud (sixth with -1) the only players able to beat Barcelona club from El Prat.
Pablo Larrazábal finished with 76 (+4): “The summaries of a day of golf are not good when you finish with 76 shots. But the truth is I didn’t play as much as the result indicated: I made some bogeys with very good shots and I’ll stay there. The field is not easy and the flags are very complex. Despite the result, there is still room for maneuvering: there are 36 holes to go, and every day the course will be more difficult, because that is what we, the members of El Prat, and tomorrow we will give ito. another twist. El Prat doesn’t give you anything for free and when you’re not careful it gives you a punch: this is the greatness of this course, which can be played in many ways. But in essence, it is a fair course that if you play it well, it will reward you with birdies ”, affirmed the Catalan.
