Mito Pereira suffers from the rain and has no chance at the PGA Championship

Another bad day for Chile at Oak Hill Country Club. In Rochester, Mito Pereira suffered from the rain again and ended the day in the top 35 of the PGA Championship the second major of the season.

On Friday, Joaquín Niemann said goodbye to the contest early. For the first time in his last ten appearances, the Chilean didn’t make the cut. However, Pirque’s was among the top 20 brands . Pereira intended to put in a good performance to get closer to the leaders, but he was far from it.

Mito started Saturday’s session six sticks under leaders Scottie Scheffler, Viktor Hovland and Corey Conners (-5). However, the rain complicated his aspirations. “It’s probably the toughest course I’ve played in my life,” he said after the first 36 holes. His statement was a preview of what he was going to experience today.

On the first hole it remained normal, but everything changed on the second. There he missed the tee shot and had to settle for a bogey. On the next two holes, he overcame a poor start and the sand trap, respectively, to seal them par.

Unfortunately for him, Pereira suffered in the fifth and sixth, closing them with a bogey and worsening his record.

Then the Chilean chained a string of pairs, squandering multiple birdie opportunities. A new bogey, this time at 15, ended up leaving him with no options on the final day.

Mito couldn’t move up the positions or close the distance. He finished the day with 74 shots (+4), reaching a total of 141 (+5). Thus, the only Latin representative who continues in the competition, was T33, waiting for the leaders to close their participation on the day.

This Sunday, from 1:00 p.m. in our country, the national golfer will close his participation in the second major of the season. The native of Pirque will jump on the field to achieve his personal revenge, since he has no chance of being crowned champion of the North American contest.
