The Pirque native had a day when he was six under par, but the poor opening round punished him in the general draw. Joaquín, on the other hand, throughout the day had few opportunities to enter the group of players who will play at the weekend.
The adventure of the Chileans in Voyageurs ended early. Niemann was the first out of the cut by nailing a second round tied with par and maintain the +3 he signed on opening day. Myth, on the other hand, had a round that started out amazing but ended in bogeys and was fatal. He won’t play on weekends as he is just below the group of players who will play on weekends .
A cruel day, mainly for Mito who at one point in the day, he was leaving with a six-under-par card and included in the group that had everything ready to play the rounds of today and tomorrow. In those first 13 holes, he showed the field was outplayed, scoring six put-ins and no penalties. Something that has changed dramatically.
A bogey on the 14th shattered perfection and put him on a back and forth of misfires. He managed to keep the count at 15 with another birdie, but afterwards it was all regrets. Poor tee shots on the 16th and 17th left him in very difficult positions to play the holes being the big reasons for two continuous bogeys that left him with -1 on his card and out of the cut.
It was a complicated outcome, which left him without a chance to continue competing mainly due to Thursday’s bad run. Yesterday, however, it looked like Mito was playing for the lead and not to stay alive. A cut that stayed at two under par told him that on a course like TPC River Highlands, mistakes are expensive, because the cards are usually very low .
Niemann was also unlucky.
Joaquín knew early on that his visit to Connecticut would last until Friday. He was one of the first players to step out on Cromwell’s pitch and at no point did he have a real chance of making it to the top half of the table.
He started the day with a bogey in his first flag (he started on the 10th hole) and it was very difficult for him to step forward on the map. He lived through much of the early flags with the pair, unable to alter a narrative that at the time had him well below the cut (and his own aspirations).
It wasn’t until the 18th that he found a birdie which prompted him to discount again at the next flag, but the penalties again fell. Bogeys at three and five and the chances of a comeback fell to nil . He continued with the round purely out of commitment and got another discount which isn’t worth much to Joaco.
Look where you look at it, Friday was a bad day for the Chileans. They say goodbye to Travelers early and with pleasure little by little. Mito at least had a second day where he found his best golf. The problem is that it ended before time.
