Paul Barjon four shots from the front
Thirty-two golfers stand on three shots with Xander Schauele, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka Y tommy floats in 12th place at -4. Right behind this impressive bunch, the French Paul Barjon fits perfectly. The New Caledonian struggled to enter the Snake Pit with his only bogey of the day on the 16th, but the Bordeaux native finished with a solid 68 (-3, 33rd).
Charl Schwartzel just mad!
We will also remember the bad performance of the Italian Francesco Molinari, completely lost on the greens with numerous triples and a lousy sequence of four bogeys in a row from 1 to 4 (after starting from 10). As well as the heat stroke of the South African charl schwartzel who waved his club angrily on the 15th, before calmly continuing with an unimaginable eagle on the terrifying par-4 16th hole. Relegated beyond the top 100, the two Major winners will still struggle to make the cut.
