GAVIN DEAR IN CONTENTION ON ALPS TOUR
FROM THE ALPS TOUR WEBSITE
England's Jason Barnes and Italian Matteo Delpodio are neck and neck at Acaya Open. They both are both four under par after 36 holes to lead by one over Scot Gavin Dear and Englishman Matthew Cryer.
Jason Barnes is going to play tomorrow for maiden win. The three other players in contention have already lifted one or two trophies this year. Barnes struggled a little more on greens today. Everybody had to deal with suspended play. The weather was as rainy as in Wales and players had to wait 90 minutes to get back on course.
The rough was full of water and what was difficult yesterday became a nightmare today. For those who lost driving accuracy during the break, the day was very long. The cut is the highest of the season at +9 and only five players shot under par today.
Among them Gavin Dear with the best score, a four-under-par 67. He is playing better and better these last few weeks and always seems to do even more.
“I did not practice last week because the weather was very bad. I have no idea what would be a good score on this golf course so I played safe on my first round. Then today I feel good and I pushed my game a little more.
"I have good feeling again with my putter and as I am not the kind of guy that gets mad with a bad shot or a putt.
"My goal is to stay on the top 5. I am not thinking about that on course but once I completed my round I always check Bragulat and Cryer scores...”
Italian Matteo Delpodio is back on top of the leaderboard after two poor events. Delpodio already won twice this year but his goal is higher than playing well on the Alps Tour.
“Since the Peugeot Classic where I missed my first cut of the year, I have been working very hard. I did realise that I needed to improve my game to play on higher circuits.
"My good shots are really good and I know I can do things the others cannot. But my bad shots are very bad as well and you can not afford such poor shots on European Tour or Challenge Tour. I am on the right way, I feel good and I keep in mind this work for Q school.”
