DP World Tour : Portugal Masters Leaderboard
First off the 1st tee this morning Aaron Cockerill got off to just the start he wanted as he sets out on the final regular season event of the DP World Tour 2022 season, the final 117 to have their cards for the 2023 season will be decided Sunday evening.
As I mentioned earlier his putting this year has improved to the point he leads the tour in putts in GIR, and today he made two 25 footers for birdie, one at the 1st, another at the 3rd to go -2 through 3 holes.
After pars at 4 and 5 he pulled his tee shot into the left rough on the par 206yd 3 6th and couldn't get up and down for his lone bogey on the front nine. He birdied the 9th when he stuck his approach from 145yds to 3 feet. Out in -2 33.
He made 5 straight pars after the turn before another birdie at the 315yd par 4 15th, then another 25 footer to save par at the par 3 16th had him at -3. The par 5 17th is 588yds and after a splendid 260 foot carry over water saw him on the green in two, he made his 5th birdie of the day he was -4 heading up the last, the 465yd par 4, water all the way down the left. He was 37 feet from the pin after his approach but managed to 3 putt after missing a 4 footer for par.
He kept the ball in play most of the round, hit some solid approaches, and made 5 birdies with the 2 bogeys and at -3 finished the day T45 projected to finish #113.
The clubhouse leader was veteran Dutchman Joost Luiten -8 63.
