Hugo León, Matias Domínguez and Felipe Aguilar ensured their presence in the last two rounds of the most important tournament in the country. Cristóbal Del Solar, on the other hand, could not respond to his favorite poster.
During a day of great golf at the Prince Of Wales Country Club, three national golfers ensured their presence at the Astara Chile Classic weekend. Among them was Felipe Aguilar who dazzled with a six-under-par daily card.
The historic Chilean golfer, who also had to play the last hole of the first round today, managed to climb 54 places in the general table , being in the top 30 of the tournament. Exactly in position 27, tied with 11 other golfers with a record of -7. A stellar day for the European Tour player, who had no bogeys and scored birdies on holes one, two, four, seven, eight and eleven.
“It was a very good run. I played very solid . I missed opportunities like missed birdies on the par five but still missed two or three greens but made the high and low and recovered. To finish without bogeys was good news. I started off with a really good pace and that helped me a lot for the rest of the day. I took it very easily. It helps a lot when the terrain is difficult, like that of Country. “, explained the 48-year-old golfer.
But not only Aguilar celebrated this Friday, since Hugo León and Matias Domínguez also ensured their presence within the cup of the weekend. The first will reach the third round with a cumulative -6 and the second with five under par, just at the limit of the group of players still alive.
Unfortunately, the one who couldn’t continue his time at the event was Cristóbal Del Solar, the Chilean who appeared on paper as the protagonist. He could not maintain the level displayed in the other Korn Ferry Tour tournaments and bid farewell to Santiago with a two-shot card at the request of the course.
