This is a third day of British Open as before, with some first swords in the pomade, with a spectacular battle between real world golf cracks, and in a strange, special setting, the St Andrews Old Course.
Some world top 10 to battle for silver pitcher that only one of them will take this Sunday, in addition to being honored Golfer of the Year. And sadly in this Sunday’s battle for victory there were no Spaniards among them. Jon Rahm and Sergio García have disappeared from the classification of this 150th edition of The Open.
None of the contenders were left in the classification (the Australian leader started the day cameron smith), instead it is compressed even though there may be one more favorite than the other, Rory McIlroy. Of course, from how people roared on the course when he came out of the bunker straight for eagle-2 on the 10th hole, and how Rory’s crown was experienced in the press room, it’s clear that almost everyone was with him. the Northern Irishman, no win in the ‘majors’ in 8 years.
Very good battle of one Australian (Smith), three Americans (Cameron Young, Dustin Johnson and Scottie Scheffler) and two Europeans (McIlroy and Victor Hovland). The winner of the TPC, one of the revelations of the American circuit, the most notorious ‘dissident’ of the PGA Tour towards the Super League, the world number 1, a Norwegian who promises many and four times winning ‘majors. ‘looking, longing and dreaming to raise his second Pitcher at least in the Cathedral of golf.
The 17th hole, the famous ‘Road hole’, did not allow McIlroy to finish the round without bogeys. His second shot ended near the back wall of the green, but the Brit got a good bogey there. Hovland has already saved the pair. On the 18th both were unforgiving birdies and with 66 shots for 200 (-16), they were the tournament leaders. Hovland signed his card with six birdies without fail, McIlroy made it with four birdies and the aforementioned eagle and bogey.
Thus, McIlroy and Hovland lead with -16, with -12 being the two Cameron and with -11 Schffler and the special guest, South Korean Si Woo Kim, winner of The Players at Sawgrass several years ago the past. At -10 is the former world No. 1 DJ and at -9 he slipped on his Saturday rowing routine Tommy Fleetwood (66 hits this Saturday).
Coincidentally in 2014, at Hoylake’s Royal Liverpool, McIlroy was leading at -16 after 54 holes. And on a good fourth day he picked up the Silver Jar. Hovland had the best Grand Slam finish 12th last year at Royal St. George’s.
Rory finished second in the Masters after sinking a spectacular shot from the bunker on the 18th hole, leading the first day of the final PGA Championship, and finishing only with a shot from the head after the opening round at the US Open a year ago. moon. Of these two ‘majors’, he was ‘killed’ by the third lap. Not this time and we have to see that the fourth respects him and a lot.
He is number two in the world and has achieved two victories this season (CJ Cup and Canadian Open), as well as finishing 2nd in the Masters, 8th in the PGA and tied for 5th place in the US Open, one at his best in a row since who won his four ‘majors’ between 2011 and 2014 (One US Open, two PGA and one British.
