Mito Pereira steps up the throttle at the Shriners Children’s Open. The Chilean came out of a first round of -4, but this Friday he dazzled everyone present. An eight under par and tournament-high day with one step ahead of his pursuers.

Even that feeling of total play would be extended with back-to-back one-and-two surrenders. It was the day of Mito, who already at this time of the day was at the top.
Position which was reinforced with the birdies on four and six, but which trembled with the punishment for the seventh hole, the only one he had all day . The problem is that despite his good day, the pursuers of the native of Pirque did not do badly in Nevada either.
During this whole home stretch, he was stalked by South Koreans Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim, who even took him into the account at one point.
But on the last hole of the day, Pereira once again made it clear that he was in a state of grace and scored his ninth birdie of the day. An assured leadership, despite the fact that after Robby Shelton had a great finish and in round three he will start as a shooter for Mito.
The Chilean will start this Saturday with -12 and with a good chance of securing his first PGA victory. The advantage is still minimal to qualify him as the only favorite, but he is the leader.
