Dear Amateur … the two sides of golf

Compartir

When you return home dizzy after a dreadful round of golf, or amazed, because absolutely everything came off and you now believe that you have found the key, maybe you should think about the first round of the BMW 2014 PGA Championship.

For example, Thomas Bjorn could not really explain his 62 this morning. “I do not understand, I played badly in the Spanish Open and then after two days of practice here, I was still playing badly. I don’t know what’s happened”.

For Matteo Manassero (+8), the defending champion arrived with a tremendous desire to do well on a course that has brought him one of his best memories as a professional player. However, it turns out that today he lipped out on three holes (two double bogeys and a quadruple bogey). Let´s see if he is able to make a come back and qualify for the weekend. Which is going to be really complicated.

And also Nicolas Colsaerts (+5 ). This year, the Belgian hasn´t done anything remarkable until in Malaysia just over a month ago, where he finished second. It seemed that the table was turning for him, but since (playing 5 rounds) he has not scored lower than 74.

You can even look at Sergio, on what accounts for his mini-European tour. His game looked bad in Girona and he was injured in Virginia Water.

We can and must take a look at Rafa Cabrera Bello, who broke the chain on Sunday at the PGA Catalunya and this week won the Pro-Am event. Dear amateur, as I said: everything, absolutely everything is relative when it comes to this sport of 14 clubs.
