Victor Perez’s Scottish weekend will continue. The Frenchman (29) made the cut at the British Open, where he posted a -4 after two days. After his 71 Thursday to start, he signed 69 (-3) Friday on the prestigious course of St. Andrews and ended a series of 5 missed cuts in a row in Majors.
The Tarbais was in the top 25 on Friday evening, with Jordan Spieth or Jon Rahm, among others, nine strokes ahead of Cameron Smith (-13).
“We had an opposite wind, more traditional and which I quite likehe declared. I hit a good start at 12 which got me in a good momentum, since all the shots to be played from the tee that follow are the same. »
Perez thus chained 3 birdies (12, 13 and 14) before ending with a bogey sequence at 16, birdie at 18. « The conditions were scorable, with flags more accessible, especially at hole 13 which was very hard on Thursday. Today I was able to attack him and hold the ball on the green and birdie. »
There is no question of igniting or making apothecary accounts in the event of a good final result on Sunday evening. “I don’t want to calculate or think too much about what a top 5 would give me. Above all, I want to keep thinking about the shots to be played and continue my rise in power. In particular, I have to make a few long putts, which I haven’t been able to do, unlike other players. .”
