Belgium International Golf Championship: Baptiste Mory co-leader

L’étudiant du CSU Northridge a enchaîné par trois birdies d’affilée (13, 14 et 15). Il a glissé un putt de trois mètres au 13. Sur le 14, il a profité du vent portant pour expédier un drive au bord du green. Un bon chip lui a offert un birdie facile. Il a reproduit la même opération sur le 15 : «J’aurais pu ajouter un ou deux birdies sur mes trois derniers trous où j’ai loupé trois putts de trois mètres, précise Felix. Je suis content d’être bien revenu après un aller compliqué. Une carte dans le par n’est pas mauvaise compte tenu des conditions.» -- Fédération Française de Golf - France (in French)
