It was a day of contradictions for national golfers at the Scottish Open. The great day they had in the first round, on this day only one could survive the cut. and that was Joaquín Niemann, who had a brilliant performance that catapulted him into the top ten of the traditional contest. While, Mito Pereira went from an expectant fourth place on Thursday to leaving the group of the top one hundred, sentencing his elimination.
The first to go out onto the field was Joaco, who with two birdies in a row gave immediate signs that he wanted to be in the fight. Then a bogey at the seventh flag it slowed him down a bit, but two discounts at 10 and 11 put him very close to the leaders.
Yes ok, The talagantino closed over par on holes 15 and 18, to finish with 69 strokes (-1), his performance left him in eighth place, with a cumulative score of -2 and five shots from the American Cameron Trindale, the only leader.
Mito Pereira arrived with great expectations for the second day, after his great start. Nevertheless, his round was one of the worst since he’s been on the PGA and, far from staying in the fight for the lead, he succumbed to the point of being left out of the cut.
In something quite unusual for the native of Pirque, he did not add any birdie. On the contrary, she accumulated seven bogeys and two double bogeys, totaling a disastrous +11 card, which sent him down to 109th place.
