“The truth that the field is amazingOne of the best conditions I’ve seen, the fairways narrowed a little, the rough is a little higher, the wind is a little stronger and above all the greens are stronger and faster.

The truth is that it excites me and I also love to give a little more of myself because then it became a little putting race and the truth is that It’s more fun when there are a little more challenges“.

Ancer, the favorite of the Mexican fans
At the start of the LIV Golf season, one of the golfers to watch will be Abraham Ancer who seeks to put the name of Mexico up, along with Carlos Ortiz to try to take the trophy.
“Me i love mayakoba. I have discussed it a thousand times with Carlos (Ortiz). He has had incredible results there, he has been very close to lifting the trophy. I have had good results. I love the countryside, the hotels, how people treat you. Is awesome”, Ancer told The Hobby. “We are already looking forward to being back and playing in front of everyone.”
Notably ancer arrives at a good time for this weekend’s competition in Mexico, since on February 5th he managed to proclaim himself champion of the PIF Saudi International tournamenta contest that is part of the Asian circuit in which LIV Golf players are competing.
