Mito Pereira shines in Japan and climbs to second place in the Dunlop Phoenix tournament

The Pirque native confirms his favoritism and will reach the final day with high hopes of winning the title in Asia.

Mito Pereira continues to expand into new golf markets. In this sense, his appearance in one of the main tournaments of the Japan Golf Tour was a complete success, since in the Dunlop Phoenix Tournament he showed the best of his repertoire and He is in second place, in the absence of the last round, which will take place at dawn in Chile.

The Pirque native climbed one position from Friday, and He completed a round in 67 shots, four under par, with a cumulative -12, which kept him within two hits of leader Kazuki Higa, who had a brilliant day and ended the inning at -6.

The pupil of Eduardo Miquel had a difficult start, with a bogey at the first hole, but then modified by a bird in the second and in the fourth, to consolidate later the first half of the tour with an eagle in the seventh.

The second half was a bit more erratic for the Chilean, as he registered flag penalties 11 and 14 and birds in 12 and 13. Finally, He closed the day expecting a blow on the pitch at 18, leaving with high expectations for the final day.

The Dunlop Phoenix tournament, played in Miyazaki, is one of the most prestigious tournaments on the Japan Golf Tour, so it’s no coincidence that great PGA players have crossed the ocean to play the event. .

The invitation of the organization, added to the fact that the test distributes points for the World Ranking, made that the Chilean did not hesitate to participate in the test and therefore play for the second time this year in a tournament in Japan . The first was a month and a half ago, when it was part of the ZOZO Championship, the only PGA date in Asia.
