“It was something pretty solid, well, trying to put the ball in the right place, playing the good side, we kept playing well, and the ending was embarrassing, on this field if you can’t handle it, it’s from a pair. of millimeters, and it is complicated in the air “, said Arnaus in the mixed zone on special messengers of the portal ‘tengolf.es’

“I feel like I’m leaving a few shots when the sun isn’t suitable for the putt, but it’s something to stay organized and attack a little bit when you can. Here you can’t afford to be in the past., You have to move on “, ending one of Moià.

Arnaus played on the morning shift, Jon and Sergio on the night shift, no doubt the most complicated. Not only because of the action of the wind, but also because the vegetables no longer have anything to do with the first hours of play, because they are more convoluted.

“It got harder. There were greens where my caddy and I saw in the morning that the ball was well received and in the afternoon it was impossible to stop it. But it wasn’t just me. Both Scheffler and Morikawa had well -hit shots which has not yet stopped the greens. The ball hit very strong and long bounce, difficult to control “, the Basque explains to ‘tengolf.es’.

“It’s a complicated course. I wasn’t lucky enough to bounce the ball in the right place in some holes. It’s a matter of a couple of details, putting in a couple of putts,” Jon added once he did. his round ended.

“I played golf well, and I can only blame myself for two bad shots, at 8 and 13. At 13 (par 5), with the 5-iron in my second hand shot, I can do more than bogey. options, in the afternoon has become complicated, but there are three days left and let’s see if we go back a bit.It will give a lot of change.The day has not been as good as it could have happened, but The goal, as said Nicklaus, is to play better every day. There is not much difference from par to +3. These are things that are happening and I hope that tomorrow will give me options “, he concludes.

Sergio García came a few games behind the Basque. Same result: return of 73 strokes. His was more painful, because with three holes to go he was actually one of the best on the afternoon shift, with an accumulated par. But he ended up with three consecutive bogeys. “A shame about the end, after fighting for it all day”, said the man from Castellón while heading to the locker room.
