Jon Rahm has gotten the wrong foot in the Estrella Damm Andaluca Masters, after signing a return of 78 strokes that takes it away from the head. The first nine holes of number one in the world were an ordeal because everything that could go wrong, went worse. Any bounce, gust of wind, or putt that might have helped change the fate of his turn, worked against him. Of course, the Basque did not display his best golf. If the Cross was Jon, the face was Rafa Cabrera Bello, What did 68 hits and even made Valderrama look like a less fierce field.
Of course, it was not because of fear of the development of the day, where only a handful of players are under par. In any case, all is not lost for ‘Rahmbo’, who confirmed that he does not give up despite the setback: “I don’t want to go home on Saturday. I can make the cut. The fault is how I played is one hundred percent mine, not from the wind, not from the field.”.
Barrika’s suffered for the first nine (he came out of 10), of which he came out with +6 in the accumulated. Maybe the 17th, when he even shot for eagle, he could have pushed his card for the second part of the round. In 18 things got very uphill after an exit to the trees that forced him to spend a blow to return to the street. Did double bogey.
While Jon defended himself in the second nine, drawing pairs, Rafa Cabrera continued with his orderly lap, washed down with several formidable bunker sacks and putts always very well guided, although the production of birdies was not greater. “I was telling my caddy that it was one of our best laps”commented the winner of the Spanish Open last week.
