You can’t ask for more from Acciona Open de España presented by Madrid in it Country club. Until five Spaniards can be found in top 10 of sorting after the third day and three of them, Angel Hidalgo (leader with -13), Jon Rahm (2nd with -11) and David Puig (3rd with -10) They will appear this Sunday in the main game. Adri Arnaus6th, 6 shots behind the leader after a good 68 with a final birdie, and Alfredo Garcia Heredia (70)8th to 7th on a day that wasn’t too good for placing, complete the Spanish quintet in the top 10.
The Andalusian (very experienced round of 68), Basque (65, with six birdies without mistakes) and Catalan (also 65 and untainted by mistakes) are separated by only three two strokes after a marathon day with clock warnings for slow play. Even the oldest people in the area and the Abierto did not remember a similar Spanish celebration. But we have to wrap it up this Sunday with a great final day that will surely see a packed Country Club. No wonder…
“I’m a little tired, it was a stressful day, I had to put up a lot of pars, make a lot of putts from five feet, but I’m very happy. I’m happy with this tiring round, and Today, like I will rest first and then compete in the last lap with Jon and David,” said Hidalgo in the mixed zone.
“I hope a lot of people will come and cheer the Spaniards on. David and I will not be scared but nervous, but we hope to turn those nerves into something positive. It is a dream to play the Spanish Open with so many people and for the three Spaniards at the top, the The truth is it will be fun,” the Marbella native added.
Rahm is a three-time Spanish Open champion, Puig has won the Asian Tour and played majors, while Angel has won the Alps Tour, Challenge, but has never done it on the DP World Tour.
“A complete day, very comfortable with the swing,” Rahm said at the end. “I have David at LIV and at home (Scottsdale) most of the day, except for sleeping, we do everything together, and I know how he plays golf; I look forward to seeing both of them, Angel plays very well some time. and people “He didn’t know how good David was. What I say to both of them is that this Sunday they will have a different atmosphere than what they have experienced so far in a golf tournament,” concluded the Basque.
David Puig, for his part, stood up after his impressive 65: “The day was easier than the previous ones in terms of playing conditions. The par on hole 13 is important. A round that no bogeys is very good, I always get used to it being messy…so very proud of the round I’m sure there will be nerves tomorrow on the tee of hole 1 but then we enjoyed a great round.”
The important foreign men who could jeopardize the Spanish victory are quite far away, in the case of the green jacket Patrick Reedfourth tied five strokes behind the Olympic runner-up Tommy Fleetwoodninth tied for eight, equal distance from English Tyrrell Hattonand the 2019 British champions Shane Lowry14th, 9 strokes from the head.
