Pereira, on the other hand, entered Friday with a slight advantage thanks to two crucial birdies in the closing holes of his first round.

Despite bogeys on holes 6, 11, and 12, Pereira managed to stay afloat with a birdie on the 8th and another on the 16th, finishing the day at +1 and under par overall.

Pereira’s performance highlights the importance of a strong opening round in a tournament as competitive as The Honda Classic.With the projected cut at +2, his early birdies proved to be the difference maker, allowing him to weather the storm of a arduous second round and remain in contention for a top 20 finish.
