Muñoz’s opinion on his round on Friday
“Today (Friday) was not a perfect day of golf, yesterday (Thursday) was super easy. I had a lot of shots where I was between clubs with the distance and I also had a hard time finding touch on the green, especially on the first nine holes. It’s not easy to play after a 60, but I think I did a great job closing the round.” Munoz told the PGA Tour.
“I think the birdie on the 1, after not lowering the par-5 of the 18, changed the round for me.”
On his second nine holes, Muñoz said: “I think the birdie at 1, after not lowering the par-5 of 18, changed the round for me, I hit two great shots and that gave me a push for the rest of the round” .
The Bogotano feels calm about the last two rounds of the tournament. “Being 15 under par after two rounds is very good, I didn’t imagine it before I started so I’m happy and I have to keep doing the same”, he concluded.
