Sand there is a benfico tournament fully established in the calendar, as if it were one more of the DP World Tour, it is the JP McManus Pro-Amwhich was launched more than 30 years ago and continues to attract many of the world’s best players. Since 2005 it has been held at Adare Manorwhere it was taken in view of its success, to which the presence of Tiger Woods since the early 2000s. Attendance skyrocketed…and donations.
Only two rounds are played (Monday and Tuesday), but this Pro-Am – of course, Bill Murray participates – is a mandatory stop in preparation for the British Open for golfers like Tiger Woods, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Rafa Cabrera Bello…
If we limit ourselves to the classification of professional players, Schauffele clearly commands with 64 strokes (-8). The Olympic champion not only maintains his usual regularity to be at the top in each event, but also just won the Travelers. Rafa Cabrera signed 71 and Jon Rahm 73. However, the focus was on the Tiger.
Woods’ match was constantly accompanied by a crowd, and it doesn’t matter that this tournament doesn’t count for the ranking. Walking close to the legend is always a privilege for many. Those, the californian pulled the buggy habitually and he still leans on his putter as he walks onto the green.
The television realization also pointed at all times to Tiger, who was somewhat erratic and made 77 hits (+5). Her drive was somewhat rusty, although not out of place. In the middle and short game, where he should try to make a difference, that’s where he was less successful. The putt did not hold his turn. Those, in the 12 he put a chip that he made roar was the large audience.
