Sergio García, eagle

Four behind the former world number 1, García signed two birdies and one more bogey, a green three putts, to position himself in seventeenth place, tied among others with Rory McIlroy, the defending champion, who starred in nine final holes with five birdies. That was not the only brilliant shot from Borriol, who in his first birdie of the day, on hole 3, a long par 3, had left the ball a meter and a half from the hole.

The Spaniard had saved a difficult putt for par from three meters on the 10th hole, after being penalized on that par 5 after the first shot for finding his ball outside the stipulated time of three minutes. Sergio argued that he should have started the clock once he crossed the river because he knew the ball was on the other side and was only looking for a way. to cross, but the referee ignored his justification.

Later, the PGA Tour through a statement agreed with the Spanish golfer, but he will not take that blow away because the card was already signed when they realized the error.

"I don't see the time to leave this Tour", Sergio was heard in a low voice through the microphones, visibly angry, something that rose disproportionately to headlines in the American press due to the controversy that exists with the impression of the thriving multi-million dollar circuit powered by Arabia, whose first test begins next month.
