The national athlete had a great second day in Washington, managing to lead the standings alone. Joaquín Niemann, on the other hand, cannot improve his numbers.
Mito Pereira signed once again an amazing day at LIV Golf DC . The Chilean finished first ranked, with a -9 card. Behind the Pirque-born man are Americans Harold Varner, with -8, and Kevin Na, with -7. The Chilean nearly lost first place due to a bogey on the 17th hole, but a birdie on the 18th put him back in the lead.
In total, he accumulated five bogeys, but a high number of 10 birdies, this Saturday in the competition held at Trump National Golf Club , which, by the way, was attended by the former President of the United States. Suffice to say that this corresponds to the first of three tournaments which will take place on the courts of the former president.
Joaquín Niemann, on the other hand, appears in the twenty-second position, with -2, without managing to improve his presentation compared to what was announced on Friday. That of Talagante had only three bogeys, but did not register more than four birdies.
While in the team classification, the Chilean team and the Colombian Sebastián Muñoz are in the lead, with -17. Close behind are RangeGoats GC and Stinger GC, both at -15.
The tournament taking place in Washington ends this Sunday and Myth Pereira has a golden opportunity to retain the trophy, ratifying his big individual moment. He proved that last week with his second-best showing in a major tournament, finishing eighteenth in the PGA Championship.
