Ángel Ayora (-9) continues to excel in the Rosa Challenge Tour in Poland. The golfer from Malaga handed in a scorecard this Friday of 65 strokes, with six birdies and a solitary bogey, and has placed himself in the second position of the classification, two strokes behind the leader, the Swedish Jens Fahrbring (-11).
Generational duel in sight. The 19 years of the Spanish golfer against the 40 of the Nordic one. A career in full takeoff phase, against a golfer who played his first Challenge Tour tournament in 2008, when Ángel was three years old. From there, he has spent half his life trying to settle in the DP World Tour, something he has not yet achieved, although he does have two victories in the second division, however, it has been nine years since the last one.
Ayora has entered the star match on Saturday with another very good round of golf, offering very good sensations, making few mistakes and even leaving some very good options along the way. This happened today at hole 5. He missed a birdie putt of about 40 centimeters due to the irregularity of the surface. The ball took a jump that took it off the line.
Be that as it may, Ángel has continued with his thing and has managed to finish the job with a great birdie at hole 9. It is the fifth time this season that he starts a tournament in the Challenge Tour with two rounds under 70 strokes. In the previous four, his worst result at the end of the tournament was a fifteenth place. The player from Manilva has been hovering around victory for a while and once again he has given himself the opportunity in Poland.
In addition, Borja Virto (-5), who is also in the fight for victory, six strokes from the head at the threshold of the top 10, as well as Álvaro Quirós (-1) and Joel Moscatel (-1). Rounds of 68, 69 and 68 strokes, respectively. The cards of Álvaro and Joel have been marked by three punctual accidents that have prevented them from finishing higher. Quirós has finished with a double bogey on his last hole and Moscatel has made a double bogey and a triple bogey.
The balance of the Armada, always apart from how positive it is to have a player fighting for victory, has not been very dazzling until the cut day. In fact, nine have been left by the wayside. Víctor Pastor, Javier Sainz, Lucas Vacarisas, Alejandro Cañizares, Víctor García Broto, David Borda, Iván Cantero, Rubén Lafuente and Kisko Pérez have to pack their bags.
At the top, in the wake of Ayora are the Dane Martin Simonsen (-8), as well as Herman Wibe Sekne, Alex Levy and Björn Akesson, all with -7.
