Ancer in front, Cam Smith, Mickelson and DeChambeau on the way – Golf Planète

After 36 holes, the Mexican Abraham Ancer, author of an exceptional first day, is alone in the lead of the inaugural tournament of the Asian Tour season. Several LIV Golf stars, who expected to score points in the world rankings thanks to this tournament, failed to seize the opportunity.

Disappointed not to be able to register world points in LIV tournaments, Cameron Smith is not going to consolidate its place in the top 5 of the world ranking with its performance in the Saudi Internationalhis back-to-school tournament.

The Australian was indeed far too imprecise to succeed in crossing the cut. He is one of the brand victims of the ax set in par.

Phil Mickelson also drew a “white cabbage” for once, just like Bryson DeChambeau, Bubba Watson back from injury and the Spaniard Eugenio chacarra.

Guillamoundeguy was going too far

The only French representative to have received an invitation, the jungle Guillamoundeguy failed to reverse the trend after a very complicated first day.

The young Landes who was playing his 2nd tournament as a professional returned a card in par thanks to a birdie at 18. René’s protege Darrieumerlou in Seignosse completed the two laps at +8, at the bottom of the classification.

Young launches the chase

Among the players in position to play the win this weekend at Jeddahthe Mexican Abraham Ancer remains under threat from the American revelation of the year 2022, Cameron Young. The two men are only separated by a blow. The title holder Harold Warns III points in 11th row alongside Sergio Garcialess at ease on Friday on the course of the Royal Greens and Country Club.
