Mito Pereira fights until the last moment and signs his first top ten in the PGA

It was Mito’s first stellar Sunday on the PGA. The first time he was going to face the real chance of taking a title on the most important golf circuit in the world. And the Chilean did not disappoint. He played perfect from the tee to the gren and was very close to reaching the top, remaining two strokes from the lead, in T5 and with -19 on his scorecard. An extraordinary week for Pereira, who already takes the hand of the elite.

The round soon began to draw applause and it was just that it began, the first birdie fell. Myth was on, assuming the moment he was. He enjoyed it, but with a fighting spirit. Then another birdie would come at 6 and the only bogey of the afternoon at 8. A slip that complicated his title options, but which continued to propel him in the fight for the highest positions in the Barbasol Championship.

A fight that had several names, which were constantly going up and down. There was no tranquility in the table and Mito had to continue discounting to try to take off from the peloton. Something that he did again on 10, 11 and 15. They were Guillermo’s last three birdies. A boost that left him at T5, climbing seven spots in the final round.

The breakdown of the three tournaments that he has played in the PGA are a great proof of the great moment he is living. In the debut he did not exceed the cut, but in the second he already managed to finish T34. Improvements that had their peack today, where he managed to be fighting for the title and signing his first top ten on the circuit.

Myth achieves -19 in Kentucky, a mark that anywhere else can be worth a title. He was close, playing like he was an expert on the Tour. Sensations that have him with the confidence to the top and with the Olympic Games between eyebrow and eyebrow. There he will have the chance to mark an era with his friend and partner: Joaquín Niemann. Chilean golf is experiencing the best moment in its history.
