Hole in one ! Moroccan Maha Haddioui performed one of the gestures of the day at the women’s Olympic golf event. On the seventh hole, the 33-year-old golfer sent the ball straight into the hole. Total distance: 161 meters.
Unfortunately for her, Haddioui was not so adept on the other holes of the Kasumigaseki Country Club. After the second round, she only points to 49th place out of 60 with +4 hits above the by.
The competition is dominated by the world number one and big favorite, the American Nelly Korda (-13). She has four strokes ahead of her three closest pursuers, the Indian Aditi Ashok and the Danes Nanna Koerstz Madsen and Emily Kristine Pedersen.
The rest of the event could be disrupted by weather conditions. The last day, scheduled for Saturday, could be postponed to Sunday, or even canceled.
