Campillo stalks the leadership of the Andalucía Masters with a Rahm at half throttle

The best was the Frenchman Guerrier (-10) who would have shattered the course record had it not been for the fact that, when the balls were placed in the fairway, the record was not valid. But what no one is going to take away from him will be the memory of the ten birdies without a mistake that he achieved in a magical round. Or the minus 9 that Englishman Daniel Brown signed in the morning shift. Fortunately, the man from Cáceres joined the leading group. Jorge Campillowho brought out all his quality to sign a (-8) that made him reconcile with a season that is turning out to be longer than expected as he has to reconcile the American and European circuits. But, based on what has been seen, he will be able to conclude it in a good way if he sneaks into the final in Dubai.

The two Spaniards who were in the main match did not finish so high, Jon Rahm and Angel Hidalgo (tied with two down), who were not able to enjoy the tournament until the last five holes. Although what has been seen since they played for the title in the last Spanish Open is that they have forged a great friendship. As soon as they started making birdies in that last stretch, the smiles and confidences arrived and everything flowed more naturally. Hence, both they and the audience that followed them had a wonderful time. Without the stress of having to look for a low result from the beginning, they began sowing for the following days.

The Basque had not competed since he placed second at the Villa de Madrid Country Club and was aware that returning to activity was not going to be easy for him. Especially on a windy day like the one he encountered. «I was not comfortable in the first holes because I was thinking too much about the technique; However, since I was hitting the driver well, in recent times I have dedicated myself more to feeling the blows and things have turned out better for me,” he commented at the end. Just like what happened in the National Open, he will have to make progress day by day, as he recovers his best feelings.

His new Andalusian friend, however, showed greater joy despite having concluded the day with the same result of (-2). “There will be few players happier than me today, because I have been tense since the practice court and I got a great result without being able to let go in the entire round,” he indicated with his usual grace. And the new champion of Spain is still in a learning phase in his new status as European winner and managing the return to his homeland with that condition is not easy to achieve.
