Jon Rahm is absent due to injury, the Spanish delegation performed well this Friday led by David Puig with an amazing -2 that allowed him to come back and make the cut with a total of +4.
The prize for Puig is not only to compete in this ‘major’ this weekend but also to participate in the Olympic Games. representing Spain next to Rahm, because at the US Open it was a question of overcoming his compatriot Jorge Campillo to join the event in Paris.
“Being at the Olympic Games is a dream come true for almost every athlete. This is definitely one of my dreams“Puig said in remarks on the US broadcast of the Peacock digital platform.
The 22-year-old Catalan golfer, who is part of LIV Golf, also added that will try to “give Spain a gold medal.”
Without Rahm due to injury, the Spanish delegation had this Friday the US Open, the third ‘major’ of the season, a great performance by Puig with an amazing -2 (five birdies and three bogeys) that allowed him to surpass his +6 on Thursday and make the cut with a total of +4.
Rahm has already qualified for Paris 2024, so another spot for the Olympics is being contested by Puig and Jorge Campillo.
With Campillo not participating in the US Open, it all depends on whether Puig makes the weekend cut in this ‘big one’.
“i am glad“, said Puig after returning this Friday after a “difficult day” on the first day.
“I had a good practice session after yesterday’s round with my coach. I kind of found something that I’ve been working on for the past few weeks and it really worked today.” he explained
