Rahm and Puig follow the pulse of the imperial Hatton and Colsaerts

Jon Rahm This Saturday he delivered an excellent card of 65 strokes (seven under par and a total of -15) where he keeps the pulse of the ‘Alfred Dunhill Links Championship’ in Belgium Nico Colsaerts (65 strokes, seven under par for a combined score of -21) and the Englishman Tyrrell Hattonwith an amazing day of 61 strokes (eleven under par) for a cumulative score of -22.

The Basque player will start this Sunday in the top ten of the table, tied David Puigwho scored 63 strokes (nine under par) for a total of -15, and both have hopes of catching up to the Belgian and especially the Englishman, after a Saturday in which Hatton He shined with his own brilliance, recording nine birdies and an eagle and threatening to win the tournament for the third time.

No one dared approach the English, despite a Rahm who was very solid from the tee and solid from the putt, which allowed him to move up to seventh position where he Puigwho tallied up to ‘ten’ birdies on his tour of Kingsbarns, while Rahm arguing the Old Course of Saint Andrewswhich everyone will repeat this Sunday in the final round of the tournament and after the cutoff is established.

After the first day at Carnoustie and a second to Kingsbarns where the wind has suffered greatly and is not good to the ‘vegetables’, Rahm continued the good work done on the first day, he was very aggressive in finding the greens from the start and very good from the putt, as he achieved the birdie on the 13th hole, with a shot of five meters that approached the him in the classification.

Rahm I know I have to give a very low card if I want to leave this Sunday with any chances, because Colsaerts he managed to accumulate a -7 in his first eight holes of Kingsbarnsin part, thanks to an incredible albatross, where he was lucky enough to have a hill return the ball thrown from more than 120 meters to the flag which finally fell into the hole and allowed him to make two on a par five.

However, from that moment on Colsaertsmissing the highest level since 2019, his consistency has dropped somewhat, a regularity he has shown Hattonteammate at Rahm’s LIVand despite starting at -11, he was at -19 by the fourteenth hole, tying the Belgian player.

The security of a Hatton without failure allowed him to reach the first position of this Alfred Dunhill Links that he knows so much about, which he won twice and held at Kingsbarns, Carnoustie and the Old Course of Saint Andrews, every day appearing in every field. until the final round to be played this Sunday at the Old Course.

So, the great rival to beat will be Hattonwith a combined score of -22 and after signing a card of eleven under par wants to achieve the ‘treble’ in the tournament, as he starts one stroke ahead of the Belgian Colsaerts, two of the Frenchman Tom Vaillant , three over Dane Rasmus Neergaard and four over Englishman Tommy Fleetwood, who was also in good form, posted a 67 and was five under par on the Old Course and finished -16.

For his part, the man from Cáceres Jorge Campillowith -12, and the Donostiarra Adrian Otaegui, with -9 in the stack, made the cut and will also play the final round of the tournament, which will be played on Sunday.

Through the team, the competition played in pairs between professionals and amateurs and with players like Gareth Bale, Bill Murray or Ruud Gullit is also at the forefront here Tyrrell Hattonin this case to his father Jeff. The cut, of twenty teams in this case, did not affect the team of Daniel Brown and former Madrid player Gareth Bale, who will enter the final round, although nine shots behind the Hattons.
