Nno golf fan should miss the outcome of a British Open which became beautiful after the so-called movement day. A good handful of best players in the world They will fight to get the 150th edition of the British Open and in this way write the most brilliant page of his career in the most emblematic field that exists.St. Andrews prepares for an epic battle to see who lifts the jar of claret in the very birthplace of golf.
There are two players who stood out and have positioned themselves with four strokes ahead of the second classified. It’s about Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland. The Norwegian will seek to end once and for all with his drought in the ‘majors’, which has been going on since 2014when the PGA was awarded and precisely the Open, which in that edition was at Royal Liverpool.
For the public of the cathedral there are no eyes for another player and the world of golf longs for the one who was considered the heir of Tiger Woods to be crowned. For the interests of the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour There would be no greater triumph than that of his standard-bearer, who yesterday had a very interesting heads-up with his match and Ryder Cup partner, Hovland.
Both closed their laps with birdies to leave today even and four strokes ahead of ‘the Camerons’, Young and Smith. McIlroy made his thirteenth lap at -6 or better in a major after doing 66the same result as the Norwegian, who aspires to be the first of his nationality to win a ‘major’.
Rory hit of the day
The magic was put by Rory with her great bunker shot on the 10th holethe shot of the day, as he holed out for an eagle straight from the sand. Hovland, whose favorite player during his youth was Sergio Garcíaplayed very solidly, practically without fissures, and had a brilliant start. Four birdies in a row from 3 to 6. Before turning professional, the Norwegian stood out and won the US Amateur. He was educated in Oklahoma and belongs to the same course as Collin Morikawa.
The fight, however, will not be only between them because the Camerons are not far away and players like the world number one, Scottie Scheffler, y Dustin Johnson they will go out to make birdies, like the first in the last US Open, where another who will be in the battle won, Matt Fitzpatrick. The cover is the Korean Kim.
The LIV players
LIV Golf is very present in St. Andrews, both in conversation and on the field of play. At the moment, the best representative of this circuit is being Dustin Johnson, who signed 71 shots (206 total) and today will leave with a good chance of victory, even more so if we take into account his record with 24 victories on the PGA Tour, including a US Open and a Masters. DeChambeau is a little further away with 210 and with 211 Ian Poulter and Victor Perez. Ancer, 211.
