“Let’s ride her fat.” This was the message I received on my mobile on Friday at 7:25 pm. The man from Malaga had made his second 68 of the week and seemed to have it very clear. Birdies appeared with some ease and errors, more than necessary this year, had disappeared at a stroke.
But from said to fact goes a long way, and it had to be demonstrated in the field. And it is there, in the Wittelsbacher Golf Club from Germany, where the young man from Guadalmina He has been the lord and master of the tournament. The regularity recital has been anthological, and the beginning of today, on one of the most important days of his life, leaves one speechless.
Let me get a little excited about this triumph, but it is that there have been many victories that I have narrated from this piece of player. At times I have remembered his triumph in the Absolute Spanish Championship (Puerta de Hierro) when on the last day he also signed a -5 partial in his first nine holes. Interestingly, that day he also signed 68 shots, although it was a par 72.
Now what? Many will say. With Hidalgo it is difficult to make a forecast. He is a special player, brave, resourceful and has a great short game. This year I was in the Alps and has ended up winning in the Challenge. But it is advisable to be cautious, because unlike Santiago Tarrio and Alfredo Garcia, he still has to sweat the card European Tour. He has five finals left and Mallorca to meet the goal.
