Una edici�nm�s, el US Open It shows us how difficult it is to make a birdie in this tournament. The pair is a satisfactory result. For some reason it is considered the most difficult tournament to win in the world. Once you hit the fairway, everything seems simpler, but stopping the ball in los peque�os greenes del emblem�tico Pinehurst N�2 Without it taking a fall or without going directly to a trap, it is very complicated. The placement of the flags does not help.
After two rounds, it is premature to point out the player who will inscribe his name on the trophy on Sunday, although due to resume it is impossible not to notice Rory McIlroy y Bryson DeChambeu, who already have this ‘major’ in their record. Although the European revolution is not just a matter of the Northern Irish. Swedish Ludvig Abergwhich does not miss a street, leads in North Carolina with 135 hitswhile the Belgian Thomas Detry (136), which had a magnificent PGA Championship, is once again trading upwards. Also the French Matthew Pavon (137), son of former Betis player Michel Pavon. Take note of this information: The only player to win the US Open in his first participation was the amateur Francisco Ouimet, in 1913. Aberg has a good chance of doing the same.
Sergio Garc�a He scored 71 hits, and with 140 overall he is in the privileged positions. The one from Borriol took the disappointment on hole 2 -started with 10-, in the form of doble bogey. He hit a masterful iron at 3 to redeem himself with a birdie. On the 7th there was another joy, although on the 8th hole a missed fairway penalized him more than necessary (bogey). Nevertheless, the sensations that a concentrated Sergio leavesinvite us to be optimistic.
Tambi�n David Puig (144) has surprised, and a lot. The Catalan makes the cut after signing 68 shotsso it is left with the second place in Spain for the Olympic Games, for which He competed with Jorge Campillo. Puig did cinco birdies and there is no doubt that he is on a roll, because he already shined and there was a birdie festival a few days ago in the LIV Houston. His ambition and his desire to improve They are your business card. He set the goal of competing in the majors and the Games this year, and to do so he played as much as he could in events that counted towards the world ranking. Impeccable short game from Barcelona this Friday.
In the case of the ‘Scientist’ DeChambeau (136 strokes, -4 total), the key is the putting and the approach. His performance in the big ones is being extraordinary this year: sixth in the Masters and second in the PGA. He has taken over from Koepka, although he still has to finish like his former enemy. McIlory, who this week announced that he was withdrawing his divorce request, made 72, but with his -3 he continues at the top of the classification and in the fight to reach his so elusive fifth major. Another of the roosters, Schauffele (139, -1), he is not out of the fight for his second ‘major’ this year.
Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka and Matt Fitzpatrick made the cut at the limit (+5). Viktor Hovland and Tiger Woods didn’t make it. Neither does the Spaniard Eugenio L�pez-Chacarra.
“I think I played well enough to be on top in the fight, but it didn’t work out the way I thought,” acknowledged Tiger, who admittedly didn’t play badly, but he needed to hit the putt better. .
