“It has been a fantastic day. Yesterday I did not hit the ball very well, but today I have seen good signs in the golf course, although I have left some blows in the Green, “Olazábal told the organization.” I have not made many mistakes in the field and the I have done have not been so serious. It has been a very positive day, the best of the day has been more my attitude in the field than my game, there are things to improve in it. Because even if I have done a good result, I am more proud of how I managed in the field than of something else, “he said.
The other Spanish figure, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, who shared a match with Montgomerie, signed 69 blows. Unlike Olazábal it was difficult to get into rhythm and it was from Hole 10 where more opportunities were created.
