Although he celebrated in this tournament two years ago, playing brilliantly, the American golfer surprised the fans by withdrawing with three remaining holes. Strong winds were the reason for the officials to stop the game. The 34-year-old golfer was four over par for the round and nine over for the tournament.
His game was far from what we are used to from an experienced golfer, but the reason for that could be the difficult conditions. The start of the tournament was not so ideal, he ended the day with 77 strokes, one of the worst results for him. Besides him, several other golfers decided to do the same, such as Emiliano Grillo, as well as Hayden Buckley and Nate Lashley.
It will be interesting to follow the next performances of the American golfer, who aims to do much more.
