Mexico Open: Aldrich Potgieter opens up four-shot clubhouse lead with England’s Aaron Rai five shots back | Golf News happymamay

Aldrich Potgieter showed his ability to shoot in the Open Mexico, making his way to 10 Era

Potgieter erupted equally after he shot the water on the tenth hole. He failed to challenge two of the five shorter at the back at nine, but still has an external opportunity in another round below 60, after he launched 59 in the Korn Ferry tour a year ago.

Those hopes ended with the shooting of the cellar in the eighteenth hole, and an approach appeared in another hideout. The ball remained near the lips, making it difficult for him to get a 20 yard shot. It is two of 25 feet to equal.

Potgieter is still associated with the course record with 61 and 16 years old, which is four shots before Stefan Gayjin in Germany (64).

It was a great offer by the 20 -year -old Potgieter, who won the 2022 amateur championship in Royal Lytham and ST Annes at the age of 17 and last year, he became the youngest player (19) wins on the Korn Ferry tour.

“I love the golf field. It is definitely suitable for my game, I think, in many aspects,” Potighter said. “If I can continue a good position, I think it should be good.”

Although his strength and hitting with the ball stands out, his strike is what led to 61, where Potgieter moves seven points from the range of 10 feet or more. It does not include the tenth, as it found the TEE water shot, ascended less than the green color and removed from 20 feet to the foot of equality.

He reached the twelfth hole of 661 yards by hitting the driver outside the corridor to a little more than 20 feet, while seven of his drives went 325 yards or more.
