The third shot from the 12th encouraged me to keep going and I think, overall, it was a good day,” he admitted. “I feel sorry for him tan 10th and 18th but otherwise it was a good day, although I wasn’t particularly good with the irons. I saved very good pairs and kept the order in place. I didn’t fully face the idea of ​​making birdies in the last two, because then on the weekend you don’t know what will happen, and maybe an opportunity always arises,” he concluded.
