The second day of the Masters at Augusta National became more difficult and complicated for many of the participants because of the strong wind, there is a strong gustwhich for more than one is a real test.
One of the The main victims were Jon Rahm, the current champion, who lived a real nightmare: Three bogeys and a double bogey left him with 4 holes to go, but in the end the Basque saved the day with two birdies and scored 76 strokes, for a total of 149 (+5), flirt with elimination.
After marathon day (some golfers spent more than six hours on the course), Rahm himself expressed himself strongly on this point: “I’d rather it rain than a storm like this…”
Asked about how he copes psychologically with such a long round, the Basque stated that “I really didn’t realize how long we had been on the course until the last holes, when the temperature dropped dramatically and I asked what time it was. The hardest thing is the mental struggle of fighting all day“.
Exactly, these bad weather conditions greatly affected the playing of many of the participants, including Rahm himself, who did not hesitate to admit that “The swinging sensations are worse than yesterday. “Now I just have to think about a nice dinner, a good night’s sleep and tomorrow who knows what might happen… I have nothing to lose.”
The other Spanish golfer who finally made the cut at Augusta National was Jose Maria Olazabal, Finished signing +1 on the tour yesterday (+6 in total) and Rahm praised at the end of the day: “Here it shows that he is a master and the experience he has. Making +1 with a ‘triple bogey’ is typical of an artist. What it’s a shame he didn’t They would take me to see him live,” lamented the Basque.
And another correct name from yesterday’s day is that of Tiger Woods, what did you get breaking the Augusta Masters record, having made the cut 24 consecutive times.
“Tiger’s ability to not compete for months and then come here and make the cut… says it all,” Rahm, who fell in love with the American talent, did not hesitate to say.
