Guillermo Pereira is counting on himself to make history. The Chilean will appear in the final round of the PGA Championship as the exclusive leader of the standings, with a -9 card and three strokes ahead of his closest supporters. The native of Pirque, who is the player with the most birdies of the tournament with 15, analyzed his performance and anticipated what the last day will be like.

“I’m happy to be in the position I’m in, I think I hit really well to be the most important round I’ve played in my career. I had never played in a final group in a major and with so many people, so I’m very happy with what I did. said the National, who is making his PGA Tour debut this season.

“I had started very well, very confident and then these bogeys came (8, 9, 10 and 12), but I didn’t feel like I had hit badly, I think. I was unlucky on some shots and that helped me come back because I had confidence in my game. The birdie on 13 was the key to getting that feeling back, then the birdie on 18 was a bonus “, he added.

Pereira, who is ranked 100th in the world rankings, spoke about how he will experience the hours before the final round. “I don’t know what’s going to happen tonight, my idea is to disconnect from it all a bit, luckily we’re in a house with friends and my wife and it’s going to distract me. Tomorrow it will be about doing the same thing as today yes,” he concluded.

Myth will look this Sunday to give a global surprise. The crown is in your hands.
