The national golfer has made his only three errors in the last five flags of the contest which offers the final invitation to the Augusta Masters.
With only five holes remaining to complete its round, the projection of Mito Pereira at the Valero Texas Open it was very positive. He was in 17th place and his expectations were high. However, couldn’t close the right way and dropped out of the top 50, product of only three bogies who did.
The national golfer had started his tenth flag tour. And he did it in a big way in the beginning, since he reached birds at 14, 18 and 3 years old. However, his ordeal began at age 5. There he failed in a par five. Then, history repeated itself in the seven, where he drove the ball in four shots (by three). And although he managed to discount an impact in the 8th, he missed in the next and passed up the possibility of finishing higher and not having to worry about the fight tomorrow to make the cut.
This Friday, the pircano will leave on the field of the TPC San Antonio, at 07:52 accompanied by American Kevin Streelman and Briton Aaron Rai, his same teammates today.
The importance of the tournament lies in the fact that offers the last invitation to play the Augusta Masters next week until the winner has reached the ranking for said Major.
With a field of 144 players, the contest awards 500 points to FedEx and distributes US$7.9 million in prizes. Among them, 1,386,000 US dollars will go to the winner.
