Author of a good start at the USPGA, the Frenchman Victor Perez managed an almost miraculous blow when he was in an unfortunate position.
Second major of the season, the USPGA got off to a pretty good start for Victor Perez, who made the cut, returning a +2 card on Friday after finishing the 1st round in par. On a tricky course, the Frenchman limited the breakage rather well, like this miraculous rescue captured by an Internet user.
Badly embarked on a hole, Perez had to play a shot while his ball was in a practically vertical slope, at a practically impossible angle. Without struggling, the Tarbais managed to bring his ball back to the green. Almost a small miracle!

After this long day (he had to get up at 4 a.m. to finish his first round from 7 a.m., before moving on to the next 18 holes), Perez drew a positive balance from his start to the tournament, which places him in 30th place, 7 strokes behind the leaders (Scheffler, Conners, Hovland). ” There was a lot more wind, especially across, and birdie opportunities were rare. Holes are really hard in these conditions, I think of the 6, for example. This is not a course that we can attack and even less with the rain which is announced for Saturday”, entrusted the French No. 1 to L’Equipe.
