El scotches Grant Forrest has released its palmars of triumphs in a big way in the European Circuit, conquering the Hero Open in his country, next to St. Andrews, the house of golf, and consolidating in the final round the enormous consistency that it has been showing since the tournament started last Thursday. With a final card of 66 strokes, overcoming with up to eight birdies to two bogeys at 2 and 16, he has lifted the trophy with 264 strokes, 24 under par, with one advantage over James Morrison.
The English golfer, who did not appear in the pools after yesterday’s ‘moving day’, has been a leader at the clubhouse for much of Sunday after signing the best round of the day in the links of Fairmont, a tremendous 63 for 265 hits in the accumulated, 23 under par, which has forced Grant to close his turn with two consecutive birdies on 17 and 18 to take the title and avoid defeat first … and then the tiebreaker.
And behind them, in the third solo position, the best of his career on the tour, the Spanish Santi Jar, who played the stellar match with the champion and Calum Hill, showing a solvency and know-how unbecoming of a player who a little over a year ago was not even among the 600 best in the world and who for the first time in his career came out in the last match on Sunday of a tournament of the European Tour, with options to win.
The Galician golfer, after the disappointment that he was left out of the Tokyo Olympics, has retaliated in a big way, resisting the ‘attacks’ of a good number of much more experienced players in these matches and sealing a final round free of bogeys, with four birdies, for a total of 68 shots, 267 during the week, just three from the winner. A reliable demonstration that you are ready to compete on the tour.
The two triumphs he has achieved this year in the Challenge Tour, together with many other good results, guarantee the card of the European Tour for 2022. And performances like this week in Scotland They also allow you to continue your unstoppable climb in the world golf rankings. At the expense of what happens today in the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, Jar start the week one step away from the world top 100, where it will not take long to appear.
