Nacho Elvira (-8) will compete this Sunday for victory in the Porsche Singapore Classic, a DP World Tour tournament held at the Laguna National Golf Resort. The Cantabrian golfer has submitted a scorecard of 69 strokes in the second round and has provisionally placed himself in fourth position, just two strokes behind Tom McKibbin (-10), Adrien Saddier (-10), and Matthew Jordan (-10). Remember that today the second round is being played, although it is actually the moving day, as the tournament was reduced to 54 holes and will end this Sunday.
Beyond being near the top and just two strokes from the lead, Nacho’s bid for victory is serious and strong due to how well he is playing golf. He already showed some signs in Kenya, but this week in Singapore he has raised his level even more. “These two days have been some of the best golf in a long time,” he told Ten Golf right after signing his scorecard.
The elder Elvira has been excellent from tee to green and only lacked a bit more decisiveness around the hole. That’s why he will need to be watched closely tomorrow. If he has a good day with the putter and maintains the good feelings from Friday and Saturday, he will undoubtedly be one of the favourites for victory. After that, as you know, everything has to fall into place, no one gets a lucky break, etc.
In this situation, the Armada has created a very good chance of victory in this first stop of the Asian swing of the DP World Tour, somewhat disrupted by rain. Additionally, Alex del Rey (-4) has earned his presence in the final round, although once again two holes were too many for him. It’s the milkmaid’s tale, but without the last two holes on Friday and Saturday, the Madrid native would be tied with Nacho, in the fight for everything. These are the small details of this sport.
Furthermore, Iván Cantero (-3) was not far from getting into the battle as well. He started his round with a bang. He made four birdies in the first five holes, hitting one great shot after another. From the 7th, the day started to go awry, and he was left without a chance of victory, but he managed to secure the cut and can still earn a good handful of points tomorrow. Ángel Ayora, Joel Moscatel, and Alfredo García Heredia, all at -2, should be in tomorrow’s final round. The cut is between -2 and -3, but something unusual would have to happen for it not to be the former. Six cuts secured. Rafa Cabrera Bello is out.
