He spoke after his game: “ It’s never easy to leave like that in the morning, given the conditions I didn’t try to attack but rather to aim for par. There are a lot of shots with the left-right wind, which is a shot that I don’t like too much, so a little in difficulty on that but I can rely on my little game to score”.
