The Argentine finished the second round with 65 strokes and was in third position.
An excellent second round of 5-under par 65 allowed Argentine Emiliano Grillo to move up to third place at the Charles Schwab Challenge, played at the Colonial Country Club, in Fort Worth, Texas.
Grillo has a 132 (-8) and is four shots behind leader Harry Hall, who remains firmly at the top, after his return of 66. Harris English (-9), with another 66 (-4 ), which included a hole-in-one on the 8th hole, he was in second place.
“I put in what I had to put in and I saved myself when I needed to save myself. It’s always good to play well the first two days and get into position”, said the Argentine who made five birdies in his last nine holes.
Grillo had a strong performance at Colonial Country Club, where he had two top-10 finishes in his seven outings.
“You have to hit different shots off the tee and keep it in the fairway and hit the greens, which is a bit of my forte and luckily I made some putts today, like at 13 and 16,” the 30-year-old said. .
This event, one of the most storied on the PGA TOUR, already has a victory for an Argentine in its history. Roberto De Vicenzo won it in 1957 and Grillo wants to follow in the footsteps of the Argentine great who turns 100 this year.
