Puig Bursts Strongly in South Africa: Second to Two of DeChambeau, Rahm Fourth

The Catalan golfer scores a spectacular round of 64 strokes and is a serious contender at the LIV Golf in Steyn City.

The second day of the LIV Golf tournament in South Africa witnessed an exhibition by David Puig. The young Catalan golfer, just 24 years old and current number 85 in the world, has climbed to second position in the rankings, tied with the South African Branden Grace. Puig is just two strokes behind the leader, the American Bryson DeChambeau, thus consolidating his presence among the favorites.

Puig completed the round with an impressive 64, which translates to seven under par for the Steyn City course. This performance places him as one of the most outstanding of the day, sharing honors with the South African Dean Burmester. His game was of a very high level, materialized in eight 'birdies'. A single 'bogey' on the 14th hole was the only thing that prevented an immaculate card, demonstrating great consistency and ambition.

For his part, Jon Rahm maintains his solid track record in recent tournaments. The Basque golfer had a round of 66 shots, with five birdies, and remains in fourth position overall, three shots off the lead. Rahm is tied for his position with Burmester, Mexican Abraham Ancer and American Charles Howell III.

The leader, Bryson DeChambeau, had a day of contrasts. The Californian, who has just won in Singapore, started with an eagle and accumulated seven birdies. However, a double bogey' on the 12th hole prevented him from extending his lead in this South African tournament, which is making its debut on the circuit calendar.

Sergio García had less fortune. The golfer from Castellón, who started from a good position, was only able to score one shot under par on this second day. With a total of -8, and a card of four birdies and three bogeys, García has dropped from second to fifteenth position. Share this position with Josele Ballester.

Josele Ballester, for his part, had an outstanding performance, adding six birdies. He is joined by Luis Masaveu, the fourth member of the Spanish Fireballs team. The Madrid native achieved an 'eagle' on the 10th hole and completed the round in 67 strokes, placing himself at -5 on the overall table. His performance promises to give something to talk about in the coming days.
