DAfter two days spent at the US Open, no one would have thought to bet on Richard Bland as leader by now – shared with Russell Henley-, despite the fact that the Englishman arrived after reaping the best results of his career. The British, from 48 to, is a player who has passed 23 years and 478 tournaments looking for a win on the European Tour, until finally the British Masters arrived a little over a month ago. Now his confidence and a few straight shots are working the miracle.
After a great second round of 67 shots, Bland shares the lead with Henley, who shot 70. Both accumulate 137, but they hit the heels of a blow Louis Oosthuizen and Matthew Wolff (138). The third place of the latter represents some of the most positive news, as he had not played since he was disqualified at the Masters for signing his card wrong.
But this was not the reason why the young American promise disappeared for a couple of months from the fields. At 22, the Oklahoma State-trained golfer needed to stop. “The Masters was the turning point because I didn’t enjoy it and I realized that mental health is very important so I took a break “. Wolff represents together with Hovland (he retired because something got in his eye) and Morikawa to the best class of recent years.
In the first positions it also appears Jon Rahm (139), which without being bright ended the day with very positive feelings. Schauffele (140), DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka y Justin Thomas (142) They also pose serious threats, but their presence at the top of the rankings makes this US Open a much more exciting tournament.
Rafa Cabrera, from more to less
With 144 strokes estn Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson and a Rafa Cabrera Bello whose return had more lows than highs (firm 76). The Canary I combined punches with painful mistakes, like bogey when kicking with serious birdie options. His lap was twisting as the day progressed, and he ended up with a bogey at 16 and a double bogey at 17. It was not just the putt, but of course Rafa was not fine on the greens and probably did not finish with a good taste in his mouth.
Sergio Garca (145) He also made the cut after a second round of 74, but Borriol’s recognized that the feelings were not bad and waits for everything to fit into his game over the weekend. Full qualification on PGA Tour. The tournament can be followed this Saturday from 7:00 p.m. in Movistar Golf, on dial 57 of Movistar.
