The Pirque native ended up with +4 on his card and couldn’t overcome one of the lowest cuts in tournament history. Niemann, on the other hand, bounced back in the final holes and settled into the top 30 marks in the major.
A complicated day lived the Chileans in the second round of the US Open which takes place in Brookline, Massachusetts. Neither Niemann nor Mito could find their best versions and had a bad time at several stages on Friday. Mainly the latter who could not overcome the cut. Joaquín, on the other hand, improved in the final and managed to stay six strokes behind the leaders, with the weekend on the horizon.
Mito was the first to hit the Country Club grounds and the results weren’t there. In the first leg of his comeback, he had two bogeys and was compromised, something he couldn’t overcome for the final nine flags of the round.
In fact, in the second half, he had the same balance after realizing a birdie on the 16th, but bogeys on the 13th, 15th and 18th . The +4 on his card kept him flirting all afternoon with the cup and at the end of the day, the fact was confirmed. Mito was left out of one of the lowest (+3) cuts in US Open history .
Niemann for his part had a day with several status changes, but it at least saw him stay in the top half of the table and secure his presence in the final two rounds of the major. During the day on Friday, he was level with the field, achieving a +1 general card, six strokes behind the leaders, Collin Morikawa and Joel Dahmen.
To attack positions on moving day, you will need to replicate what you did on Friday when closing your round. a difficult day got birdies on four and eight (started at ten), showing that his best act comes in times of tension.
In this way, the national delegation is divided for the weekend at Brookline. Mito lost control and was kicked out of the cut the third great of his career . Niemann, on the other hand, bounced back and clenched his fist, having another chance to improve his card. This Saturday will be a key day for the Chilean, who continues with the illusion of breaking into the middle finger.
