Saturday is the day that candidates are usually known by the title of any PGA event. The popularly called “moving day” is the key day to determine if you have any real option to be champion or you must settle for playing the last day with the jackpot off the radar. Something that Mito Pereira understood perfectly in Kentucky. The Chilean approached perfection and managed to get 14 shots under par in the general table. Stuck in the high places and with the dream of lifting his first crown on the most important circuit in the world.
Today was one of those days where everything works out. Where you hit and you realize you have the power and touch to dominate every shot on the pitch. Something that Guillermo perceived from the start. First flag and first birdie of the day, to have the motivation to the fullest, one that was not even cut when on hole two he suffered the only bogey this Saturday. The key is not to make mistakes, but to know how to mend the path again.
This is how the discount festival came about. Birdie at four, five and six. All with kicks over 290 yards, hitting hard and playing delicately as he landed on the green. There was no room for mistakes or sadness. Everything worked perfectly.
Applause that would continue to fall on the nearby flags. The birdie of the nine (par three) thanks to a hit from the tee that left him one yard from the holeIt was one of his best moments of the day. One full of repeats for weekly recap.
His tour of the Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville continued with several flags matched by the requirement. Myth was having his first experience with high positions and he did not want to miss that opportunity. He knew he was near the top, but many were still playing their cards in the tournament.
So he got back on the golden path and returned to birdies on holes 15 and 16. The last two discounts of a marked day of good feelings and validations. He is living a dream moment and proving with all his letters that he is already a PGA player. That direct ascent from the Korn Ferry Tour, it was more than fair. Myth is an elite golfer.
He will arrive at the last day of the tournament with -14 on his card and in position 12 of the. Five strokes behind the leader, something that does not affect the Chilean. He had a dream day and hopes to repeat it on Sunday.
