“We enjoyed it a lot on the golf course and made a lot of birdies out there,” said Casabona Navarro. "The plan for tomorrow is to play strong tee to green…we will have patience and will enjoy the day!”
García Simarro, Casabona Navarro’s old coach and now playing partner, added, "It’s easy to play with Sixto, and we enjoyed today a lot. It’s going to be a very important day for us [in the final round]…we have won tournaments before but it’s my first time playing in the Fourball and playing with Sixto is fantastic and we will try to make a win tomorrow.”
Although conditions were once again very testing, with many players battling against the high winds, Casabona Navarro and García Simarro made light work of the Hills Course. The Spanish pairing carded two birdies on the front nine and reached the turn in 34 (-2), but an extraordinary seven birdies on the back nine propelled them to the top of the leaderboard.
Their closest pursuers are fellow PGA of Spain Professionals, Liam Murray & Xavier Puig, who are one shot behind the leaders on 13-under (130).
"It was still tough out there – we started off well and after five holes we were three under and we thought ‘here we go again’...we thought we could get under early,” said Murray.
"It’s nice to be in contention to win the tournament,” added Puig. “We have tried to stay relaxed and motivated over these two days and have the best game we can."
