Keep
Although the present British Open It is one of the most atypical in recent years (the absence of rain and wind is teaching another version of what this tournament is about), the toughness of a links like Royal St. George’s is getting that in the end the best are those who are at the top . You just have to see that four of the top six are big winners and that is not by chance. Louis Oosthuizen (-12), Collin Morikawa (-11), Jordan Spieth (-9) and Jon Rahm (-7) reached that privileged situation by perfectly combining the problems that the field presented them with the tension of fighting for a major.
Oosthuizen and Morikawa came out in the last game and were marking each other with an advantage for the South African, who, relying on his greater experience, was not impressed by his anodyne return, very different from the two brilliants with which he agreed to the weekend. But he was not nervous about losing the lead temporarily and with a timely birdie on the 16th hole, he stopped the American’s momentum, who was relegated to a second position that was not enough for him.
Jordan Spieth, for his part, suffered his own anxiety to return to the top and with two bogeys in the closing holes he spoiled a round in which he came to be in the lead. As is happening this last season, he knows that he has returned to his best game, but he needs to recover the necessary ground to avoid accelerating and wanting to achieve the results before time.
Jon went back in time
The Spaniard did not have an easy start (in 11 he was one over par) but then he calmed down and turned the tables by displaying his great championship game. His strategy worked again at the most opportune moment and he recovered three hits in the next six holes, which led him to stand on the exit of 18 to five hits to the head.
It was at that moment that Barrica’s man was again with options to complete another of his historic comebacks, those that have led him to be torture for his rivals when they see him coming on from behind. However, his opening shot on that closing hole went off the fairway by inches and did enough to save a miraculous pair of his own. You still have options, but you need to appeal to the heroic if you want to get your first Claret Jug.
